TFD units responded to house fire in the 2100 block of S. Rosemont approximately 8:00 last night. With a large fuel load on the property (sheds,possessions)and reports of an explosion, crews moved to a defensive operation and put up the aerial to extinguish the flames. One patient was transported with non-life-threatening injuries and the cause is still under investigation.

When Tucson Fire responds to a structure fire, each unit arriving on scene receives an assignment and responsibility from the commanding officer designed to keep operations organized, efficient, and safe.
A full alarm assignment brings multiple crews and apparatus to the scene, each with a specific task.
If conditions escalate, a second alarm may be requested, bringing in additional personnel and resources to support firefighting operations, relieve crews, and ensure enough staffing for a prolonged incident.
As Captain Steven Lopez explains, these responses are built on training, coordination, and teamwork, allowing Tucson Fire personnel to work together seamlessly.

Firehouse Legends
Meet retired TFD Captain Mike Coyle. He joined Tucson Fire in 1984. He spent much of his nearly 46-year career serving at Station 16, 21 years as a Fire Captain.
For the last 11 years of his career, Coyle served as TFD’s Fire Chaplain, a role he says became the most meaningful position he ever held.
After decades of service, leadership, and compassion, Coyle retired this past January, leaving behind a lasting impact on the Tucson Fire family.
Thank you, Mike , for your years of dedication to this department and this community. Your legacy will continue to inspire generations of firefighters to come.

And that’s a wrap. After 32 years and 9 months, Captain Eduardo Carrasco is working his last shift with TFD today. Eddie filled the roles of Firefighter, Paramedic, and has been in the rank of Captain since 2005.  Surrounded by friends and family,  the emotional farewell culminated in Eddie stating that he loved this job, and would do it all over again. We wish you the best, with a retirement filled with health, happiness, and sandy feet.

Heat Awareness Day
Southern Arizona heat can turn dangerous fast, especially during outdoor activities.
Before you hit the trail:
☀️ Avoid hiking during peak heat hours (10 AM–4 PM)
💧 Hydrate BEFORE you start hiking and continue drinking water often
🥾 Know your limits and choose trails appropriate for the weather
🐾 Protect your pets — pavement and temperatures can quickly become deadly
🚗 Never leave children or pets in parked vehicles — not even for a minute
If you start feeling dizzy, nauseous, weak, or confused, seek shade immediately and call for help if needed.

The hot Tucson temps are back, which ☀️means it’s officially wet down season! 💦
Earlier this month, Tucson Fire crews visited several local schools, including Roskruge, Manzo and Boothe-Fickett, to help students cool off and have some fun before summer break.
Our crews always enjoy connecting with the community - they may enjoy it more than the kids!🚒
Big thanks to TUSD for sharing some video with us.
Stay cool out there, Tucson!
