The main goal of the Camp Verde Fire District Wildland Division is to provide support in the extinguishment of fires in the Wildland and Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) with-in our District, Verde Valley, Sedona and the I-17 corridor.
All members are NWCG 310-1 red card qualified and have received numerous hours of training at a national standard. With this type of training we are better prepared to respond to large wild fires on federal and state lands. Camp Verde Fire District operates under contract with the Az State Forestry Division to respond off District to these large wildfires. When a crew or a single resource is called upon to respond to these fires, they are prepared to depart within a two hour window.
Our crews operate on a rotation schedule and may be gone for up to two weeks. These crews have traveled as far away as South Dakota. One of the many benefits of these assignments is the invaluable ‘on the job training ‘our firefighters receive while on assignment.
