💊 FRIENDLY REMINDER — PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION DISPOSAL 💊

The Payson Fire Department would like to remind our community that we are not a designated drop-off location for expired or unwanted prescription medications.

If you have prescription medications that are expired, no longer needed, or belonged to a loved one who has passed away, please take them to the Payson Police Department, where there is a medication disposal bin conveniently located just inside the front entrance.

We especially ask that medications never be left outside the Fire Department. Leaving a bag containing prescription medications unattended outside creates a serious safety concern. Members of our community, including children, regularly walk past our station, and we do not want these medications accidentally ending up in the wrong hands.

For privacy purposes, any identifying information visible in the accompanying photo has been blacked out by Payson Fire Department staff. This post is not intended to identify, embarrass, or call attention to anyone. We simply want to protect personal information while using this as an opportunity to provide a friendly safety reminder to our community.

Thank you for helping us keep our community — and especially our children — safe. ❤️

🇺🇸 25 Years Later — We Will Never Forget 🇺🇸

This morning, our community came together to remember, reflect, and honor the lives forever changed on September 11, 2001.

Under the leadership of Public Safety Director Chief David Staub, the Payson Fire Department and Payson Police Department would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined us for this morning’s 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony.

We were honored to have Mayor Otto, Council Members Ferris and Bell, Councilmember-Elect Meyers, and Town Manager Coldwell join us in remembrance, along with so many community members, first responders, military members, veterans, retirees, families, friends, and organizations who took the time to stand with us.

A special thank you to our speakers, Fire Chief Gary Morris, Fire Chief James Stoltenberg, and Tonto Apache Police Chief Hilario Tanakeyowma, for sharing their words and helping us honor the significance of this day.

On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 innocent lives were lost. Among those who made the ultimate sacrifice were 343 firefighters and 72 law enforcement officers who answered the call to help others and never returned home.

We also remember those whose lives were forever changed in the aftermath—the first responders, military members, survivors, families, and countless others who carried the physical and emotional effects of that day for years to come, including those we have lost since.

Twenty-five years later, the heartbreak of September 11 remains a part of our nation’s history that we must never allow to fade. We remember where we were. We remember the lives lost. We remember the bravery of those who ran toward danger when others were running away. And we remember the incredible strength and unity our country showed in the days that followed.

To everyone who stood with us this morning: thank you. Your presence helps ensure that the lives lost that day, the sacrifices made, and the stories of courage and selflessness continue to be remembered by generations to come.

Twenty-five years later, we remember them. We honor them. We say their sacrifice mattered. And we promise—we will never forget. 🇺🇸

At approximately 1430 hours today Payson 911 was notified that a powerline was down on the Southwest side of Mesa Del Caballo and there was smoke coming from the area. An Engine was dispatched to investigate. When the engine arrived they found about 1/2 acre of brush on fire and requested a full First Alarm and the Tonto National Forest to respond to assist. The First alarm brought more units from Payson as well as Water Wheel Fire and Medical and Hellsgate Fire Department to the scene. An aggressive attack was used to limit the fire spread to 3/4 of an acre.
The fire is under investigation by the Tonto, although it is believed the powerline is the most likely cause and the Tonto crews will remain on scene for awhile longer to ensure the fire is out.
This is a great example of fuels mitigation work done by the Tonto National Forest in the area and a strong cooperative fire force to limit the spread of the fire.
