Pascua Pueblo Fire Department

Pascua firefighters responded alongside Engine 231 from the Tohono O’odham Fire Department to a vehicle fire on Valencia Road. Crews acted quickly to extinguish the fire, preventing it from spreading to the rest of the vehicle and the fuel tank.

This response was part of a mutual aid effort, as the Drexel Heights Fire District was simultaneously handling multiple incidents throughout the area. Strong partnerships and coordinated responses help ensure our communities continue to receive timely emergency services when they need them most.

Bee Safety Notice:

As temperatures rise, bee activity increases throughout our community. If you encounter a swarm, remain calm, keep a safe distance, and avoid disturbing the bees. Never attempt to remove or spray a swarm yourself.

If bees pose an immediate threat to public safety, contact 9-1-1.

Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping our community safe.

Members of the Pascua Pueblo Fire Department hosted Prevention Officers from the Northwest Fire District for a comprehensive walkthrough of Casino Del Sol, focusing on the facility’s Fire Command Center and Rescue Air System.

As the first high-rise hotel in Southern Arizona to install a Rescue Air System, the 10-story tower serves as an excellent example of how advanced fire protection features can enhance firefighter safety and emergency operations. The system includes a dedicated cascade capable of filling up to 60 SCBA cylinders at 4,500 psi, supplied by a standalone compressor with air connection points located in the stairwells on both sides of the tower.

These collaborative visits provide valuable opportunities to share knowledge, strengthen regional partnerships, and enhance our collective preparedness for complex emergency incidents.

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.

The Pascua Pueblo Fire Department stands in gratitude for those who gave their lives defending the freedoms we hold dear. This Memorial Day, we remember their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication.

May we never forget. 🇺🇸

As EMS Week comes to a close, we are proud to celebrate an exciting achievement — welcoming 10 new EMTs through the continued partnership between the Pascua Yaqui Tribe and Pima Community College.

This accomplishment reflects a shared commitment to strengthening emergency medical services and investing in the future of our community. Congratulations to each graduate on this accomplishment and for answering the call to serve. We look forward to the positive impact you will make in the communities around you.

This EMS Week, we proudly recognize the dedicated paramedics, EMTs, and Pascua Yaqui dispatchers who serve our community with professionalism, compassion, and commitment every day.

This year’s EMS Week theme, “Improving Outcomes Together,” highlights the teamwork it takes to provide exceptional emergency care. From the moment a 911 call is answered by our dispatchers to the lifesaving care delivered by our EMS personnel in the field, every role is critical in making a difference.

Thank you to all of our EMS professionals and dispatchers for your unwavering dedication to the Pascua Yaqui community and beyond.

☀️💦 End of the School Year Water Days! 💦☀️

Last Friday, May 15th, your Pascua Pueblo firefighters had the pleasure of helping celebrate the end of the school year with Water Days at Ocotillo Elementary and Grijalva Elementary! 🏫🚒

It was a fun-filled day of water activities, laughter, and community connection as we helped students kick off summer break the right way.

We’re grateful to our schools, staff, and families for allowing us to be part of these special memories for our youth. Seeing all the smiles made it a truly rewarding day for our firefighters.

Your Pascua firefighters recently participated in this year’s Active Shooter Training, working alongside our regional partners to strengthen coordination, communication, and rapid response capabilities.

Training like this is critical to ensuring our crews are prepared to protect and serve our community during high-risk incidents. We are proud of the dedication our members continue to show in sharpening their skills and building strong partnerships with our public safety partners.

Prepared. Trained. Ready. 🚒
