The Rural Fire Défense Program's mission is to establish, improve, and expand fire protection capacity throughout the region. The Program establishes new fire departments where needed, assists all fire departments in lowering their ISO insurance classifications, equipment needs, training, apparatus service testing, hose testing, and equipment specifications.
A new Fire station was completed in 2015 with a combination of funds from Community Development and Rural fire Défense Programs; City of Chandler contributions and the volunteer labor of Chandler Firefighters and Emergency personnel.
COEDD Rural Fire Défense Program Staff coordinated the project. Projects similar in nature and scope are scheduled to begin at other regional sites over the next few years. These community facilities support the Safety, Economic well-being, and community viability goals of the entire region.
