Northwest Fire and Rescue District (AZ)
Northwest Fire and Rescue District’s (NWFD) Citizen Corps Council, which falls under the Pima County Citizen Corp Council, consists of a Fire Corps program and a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). Many of the CERT volunteers have also become Fire Corps volunteers. NWFD Fire Corps is very active in the Pima County area and administers many projects.
Fire Corps volunteers distributed several thousand smoke alarms throughout the community and have met with hundreds of senior citizens to distribute kits for fall prevention, as well as other items promoting safety. The Fire Corps volunteers have also been instrumental in distributing thousands of “Child Watcher Tags” to families for use at pool sites to help prevent drowning incidents. These lanyards contain a whistle and instructions for what to do in the event an emergency occurs.
NWFD’s Fire Corps has also begun the “Pay it Forward” program, where community members can donate gift cards for the CAP team to distribute to those affected by an accident, fire, medical emergency, or related incident. The gift cards are available in $25 increments and can be used at grocery stores, gas stations, and other stores to purchase necessity items.
