Fire

It is the mission of the Springerville Volunteer Fire Department to provide safe and professional responses to fires and other emergencies to protect the lives and the property of the citizens that the Department serves. The Department believes that a large part of ensuring this environment is through continual training and education of its members and the public.

The all-volunteer department consists of 22 members, who have participated in local and state training, including mandatory attendance at the Firefighter 1 and 2 courses taught by the local community college, Northland Pioneer College. In addition, the members train each Thursday night to continue to polish their skills.
