These third-grade students put in some hard work! After writing essays on the traits and characteristics firefighters need to be successful (and that could be a very long paper!), two of our crew members stopped by to help bring their learning to life. Moments like this make a lasting impact, and we’re proud to be a part of it! #FutureFirefighters #CareForOurCommunity #NWFDAZ

Vehicle fire training at the academy!

Crews responded to a house fire in the area of Camino Pinos in Marana just before 6:00 this evening. Unfortunately, the home had significant damage and 2 patients have been transported. The cause of the fire will be under investigation. @townofmarana @PimaSheriff

Today, a fallen military service member who had been missing in action since 1943 was laid to rest at the Arizona Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery at Marana. Our crew was honored to stand in quiet support during the service. It is a privilege to stand with our community in moments of remembrance like this. We extend our respect and gratitude to all who have served.

Did you know today is National Pet Day?? 🐾 Violet was so excited, she claimed the Captain’s seat! While she’s riding shotgun, she has a few important pet fire safety tips to share: • Keep pets away from candles, lamps, space heaters, and anything hot • Create a 3-foot “pet-free zone” around fireplaces and in the kitchen • Watch for pets chewing on electrical cords • Have the phone number and address of a local emergency animal hospital handy • Make sure all pets wear up-to-date ID tags • Prepare emergency supplies for your pet so you’re ready to go if you need to evacuate • Know your pet’s favorite hiding spots to help firefighters find them quickly in an emergency Sources: NFPA, ASPCA #CareForOurCommunity #NWFDAZ #NationalPetDay

More photos from a recent brush fire in our District. Remember, when it comes to wildland fire safety, it only takes one spark. Follow fire restrictions, avoid activities that can create sparks, and if you see a brush fire, call 911. #NWFDAZ #BrushFire #Safety

Communication can look different for everyone. 💙 NWFD Public Educator Amy Allen developed Multi Incident Care (M.I.C.) Kits to help firefighters and public educators communicate with individuals on the autism spectrum. The kits include visual communication tools and sensory items that can help reduce stress, provide comfort, and support clearer communication during emergency and community interactions. In recognition of World Autism Awareness Day, we’re highlighting these kits and the role they play in supporting communication during emergency responses. #AutismAwarenessDay #NWFDAZ #CareForOurCommunity

As Women’s History Month comes to a close, we’re incredibly proud to recognize some of the women who serve in suppression roles within our District. From the fireground to fire inspection, their presence and contributions continue to shape the fire service, alongside many others across our organization who show up, put in the work, and make a difference every day. In a field dominated by men, their service speaks volumes and paves the way for the next generation of history-makers. Learn more about what serving this community means to them. #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInFire #FireService #NWFDAZ
