Strong emergency services begin with strong training.

Navajo Nation Fire & Rescue recruits recently participated in a live burn exercise hosted by the Flagstaff Fire Department, providing valuable hands-on experience as they prepare to serve our communities.

The Division of Public Safety extends its appreciation to the Flagstaff Fire Department for investing in the training and development of our Navajo Nation firefighters. We also commend our recruits and instructors for their continued commitment to readiness, professionalism, and service.

Preparation today. Readiness tomorrow. Service always.

PUBLIC NOTICE

The Navajo Nation Division of Public Safety is advising residents of Sanders, Arizona and surrounding communities that the Puerco Valley Fire District (PVFD) is currently unable to provide Fire and Emergency Medical Services within its service area.

To ensure emergency services continue without interruption, Navajo Nation Fire & Rescue and Navajo Nation EMS have activated emergency response plans to serve affected communities within the Navajo Nation.

During this time, residents may experience longer response times due to increased travel distances.

If you experience a fire, medical emergency, or any life-threatening situation, call 911 immediately. You may also request assistance by calling (928) 871-6111 or (928) 871-6112.
