The Central Arizona Fire and Medical Authority (CAFMA) was formed when the Boards of Central Yavapai Fire District and Chino Valley Fire District came together to create the first Fire Authority in the State of Arizona.
CAFMA staffs 10 full-time, two reserve stations, and a 40-hour engine covering 369 square miles of Yavapai County, Arizona. Our coverage area encompasses approximately 106,000 residents between the communities of Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, Dewey-Humboldt, and unincorporated Yavapai County.
Our full-time stations are staffed 24/7/365 with a minimum crew of three. We also staff an additional engine during the daytime hours of 0700-1700 Monday-Thursday during our busiest times to assist with coverage and call volume. At least one crew member on every engine company is a Certified Emergency Paramedic, and many crews have two or three. Our engines are equipped for all-hazards responses including the latest technology in Advanced Life Support equipment.
