The Central Arizona Fire and Medical Authority (CAFMA) formed as the first Fire Authority in the State of Arizona through an Intergovernmental Agency Agreement between the Central Yavapai and Chino Valley Fire Districts on October 15, 2015 with the effective date of full integration scheduled for July 1, 2016. For a complete history of the Central Yavapai or Chino Valley Fire Districts, please see the links below.
CAFMA staffs ten full-time and two reserve stations covering 365 square miles of Yavapai County. We are nestled between the Bradshaw and Mingus Mountain ranges with elevations that range from 4300ft near the head of the Verde River to 6500ft in Highland Pines.
