Rincon Valley Fire District

Rincon Valley Fire District was formed in 1985 by residents of the southeast metropolitan Tucson area to ensure that the community received consistent, high-quality emergency services at a reasonable cost. Since its inception, the District has provided increasingly higher levels of fire protection and emergency medical services to a rapidly growing population. The District currently provides emergency and community services to 20,000 residents over a 50 square mile area. The two stations are staffed 24 hours a day and 365 days a year with 37 full-time state certified firefighters that are Paramedics or Emergency Medical Technicians. Despite explosive growth, the District’s ratio of Paramedics to residents remains one of the best in the state at 1:1250.
