History
The Wickenburg Fire Department was first organized in 1865. The first constitution was adopted in 1937 in Maricopa County. In 1976, the Wickenburg Volunteer Fire Department, Ltd., was incorporated. In 2007, the Town of Wickenburg converted the volunteer department to a full-time, professional fire service.
Our Responsibilities
The Department is responsible for emergency response throughout the Wickenburg area. Uniquely, Wickenburg Fire is both a department of the Town of Wickenburg and a separate special district, which serves the rural area surrounding the incorporated Town.
Our Equipment & Employees

All firefighters are Arizona certified firefighters/EMTs with specialized training in emergency management, wildland firefighting, and command and technical rescue operations. The Wickenburg Fire Department covers approximately 88 square miles.
