Emergency Response
Our six (7) career stations and two (2) reserve stations are strategically located throughout the District to ensure a quick response to any emergency.
The firefighter/EMTs and paramedics of CYFD are trained and prepared to meet all types of emergencies. Approximately 65-70% of CYFD’s calls are medical incidents. With one or more paramedics on every unit, we are able to provide advanced life support and patients can be stabilized and treated prior to being transported to a hospital.
CYFD also has specialty rescue teams that respond to incidents involving hazardous materials, wildland fires, and rope and water rescue.
Automatic Aid
Central Yavapai Fire District is fortunate to be part of the Automatic Aid System with the City of Prescott Fire Department. This agreement ensures that the closest fire truck will respond to an emergency regardless of whose jurisdiction the emergency is located in.
Mutual Aid
Central Yavapai Fire District participates in mutual aid agreements with Chino Valley Fire District, Groom Creek Fire District, Williamson Valley Fire District and Mayer Fire District.
Policy on Responses Outside the Fire District
The Central Yavapai Fire District’s response to emergencies immediately outside the District will be limited to those areas which are protected by contract or by an agency which has a current mutual aid or intergovernmental agreement with the Fire District. Central Yavapai Fire District units may respond to auto accidents within a 5-mile area beyond our geographical boundaries.
