Pine Strawberry Fire District Employment Opportunities

The Pine Strawberry Fire District is a full service fire and medical department.  We are located in the pines just under the Mogollon Rim in Central Arizona.  Our coverage area extends north onto the Rim and south to the Tonto Natural Bridge, west to Fossil Creek and east to Camp Geronimo, with lots of area in between.  Our primary district is 10 square miles with about 3000 full time residents and a major influx of visitors on most weekends.


We are a fully qualified structure fire department with 15 full time members and 6 reserves.  We also perform full EMS and mutual aid services for a large area surrounding the district, bounded by the Payson, Blue Ridge, and Copper Canyon FD's.  We have a Certificate of Necessity (CON) and three ambulances, performing 911 response and transport functions.


The Pine Strawberry Fire District is also in a major Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) area and is first due for wildland fires in the area.  In addition, we have a robust cooperative program with the AZ DFFM.  Our trucks and personnel have worked wildland assignments all over the west and as far away as North Carolina.
