History of Clarkdale Fire
A page of an old journal records a meeting held on May 5, 1914 to “reorganize the department for protection of the Town of Clarkdale and this department was to be separate and independent of the smelter fire department”. Officers were elected and two fire companies were established. On May 11, 1914, meeting minutes record the use of the Santa Fe whistle and pistol shots to signal for apparatus.
On July 1, 1957 the Town of Clarkdale incorporated. The Clarkdale Fire Department operated for many years as a municipal, all-volunteer department. In February 1996 the first full-time paid Fire Chief was hired. On July 1, 1999 the first full-time paid firefighter/EMT was hired.
In 2003 a group of citizens first came together to begin the daunting task of forming a fire district. Through the tireless efforts of several volunteers, the Clarkdale Fire Department became the Clarkdale Fire District on November 30, 2006.
The District has paid, reserve and volunteer personnel who are dedicated to providing the highest level of professional emergency services 24-hours a day, seven days a week. |
