Town of Florence Fire and Medical Department

50,000 strong! Our department is incredibly proud to be part of the first 50,000 firefighters enrolled in the NIOSH National Firefighter Registry (NFR) for Cancer! As a Gold Helmet Department, our crew is officially in the fight against cancer. But to make this research as powerful as possible, the NFR needs to keep growing.

We challenge our neighboring departments to step up and join us! Enroll today: https://nfr.cdc.gov/

Training never stops.
This week, our firefighters spent time on vehicle extrication skills—hands‑on practice that helps us respond quickly and safely when seconds matter. Special Thanks to Jerry with Swift Group for coming out for our training.

Florence Fire & Medical got a non-emergency call today from the folks over at a Pinal County Building, worried about a momma cat and her kittens. Working together with the team over at Public Works, we searched for Momma Cat, but unfortunately, we didn't find her. After some deliberation, Pinal County staff came up with a different plan to catch her. Great collaboration comes from stepping beyond our own roles and working closely with other departments. When we combine our strengths, we create solutions that are smarter, faster, and stronger for the entire organization. It's about teamwork!

Yesterday at approximately 2:30 p.m., Florence Fire and Medical responded to a small brush fire off the 79 just north of town. It was successfully extinguished, and all crew members returned safely to the station. This is a friendly reminder that it is Wildfire season. Here are some more tips to keep you, your family, and your neighbors safe.

Our crews do amazing things everyday, fires , rescues, car accidents and medical calls. But every once in a while we get to rescue a puppy from puppy shenanigans. This little guy got his head stuck in a kids tunnel toy you see in the picture. This is the feel good story of the week. 

Arson Awareness Week Recognition 🔥

This Arson Awareness Week, the Florence Fire & Medical Department proudly recognizes the dedication and professionalism of our Fire Cause & Origin Investigators.

A special thank you to Bill and Brad for their leadership, mentorship, and continued commitment to developing the next generation—Jarod and Brad. Their investment in training and guidance is building a stronger, more capable program for our department and our community.

Becoming a fire investigator is no small task. It requires countless hours of coursework, training, and real-world application just to begin the certification process. Our team has embraced that challenge head-on.

We are especially proud of their commitment to becoming certified wildland fire investigators, expanding our capabilities to better serve and protect the Town of Florence.

Your dedication does not go unnoticed. Thank you for your service, your professionalism, and your relentless pursuit of knowledge in protecting our community.
