Welcome to the Mesa Fire Department.  The men and women of Mesa Fire are dedicated to providing the highest level of service possible to our external customers, while trying our best to support the members who provide service, our internal customers.

Mesa is the third largest city in Arizona and the 40th largest in the nation.  Mesa is a wonderful location to live and raise a family, operate a business, or just enjoy the beautiful weather and hospitality.
