🚨 Technical Rescue Training in Action! 🏔️🔥

Last week our crews ran realistic evening drills simulating the challenging rescue of a climber who took a significant fall. ⛰️

From land navigation using only GPS coordinates to locate the patient in difficult terrain 🧭🌲, to rapid assessment of multiple injuries 🩹, packaging, and a Stokes basket extrication up a difficult slope! 💪

This training directly prepares us for the many remote recreation areas across our district where access is tough and response times matter most. 🚒 Our firefighters brought in the right EMS equipment & medications, treated the patient in the field, and safely removing them using our low-angle rope system. 🪢

These hands-on sessions keep our skills sharp so we’re ready when the real call comes in. 🔥👏

🐶🚒❤️ Do you like puppies AND firefighters?🔥🐾💕

Keep swiping ➡️ to find out how you can adopt an adorable puppy! 🐕😍

Thanks to our friends at the Shadows Foundation in Flagstaff — they currently have 19 adorable puppies and a couple of kitties ready for homes! ✨

It's a foster-based program (they're fostering all pets themselves until a facility is ready), so contact Charlotte at [email protected] 😊

(Quick note: our firefighters do NOT need homes 😂 They’ve got a cozy station, meals & shiny trucks — living their best life! 🚒😎)

Who’s ready for a new furry best friend? Tag them! 🐾❤️

🇺🇸 Memorial Day 2026
Highlands Fire District

Today we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. ❤️

History: Born as Decoration Day after the Civil War, it began in 1868 to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers. It became a national holiday in 1971 to remember all who died in military service.

As firefighters, we understand service and sacrifice. We stand grateful for those who protected the liberties we cherish. 🙏

Fly the flag at half-staff until noon. Pause for the National Moment of Remembrance at 3:00 PM.

Thank you to all who served and their families. Your sacrifice is never forgotten.

🚨 Teamwork in Action on I-17 🚁🚒

Yesterday, May 17, Highlands Fire District was dispatched to assist Pinewood Fire with a single-vehicle rollover near milepost 314 on I-17.

Engine 23 and Battalion Chief 20 arrived on scene to find the vehicle had rolled off the roadway and down into a drainage. While Pinewood Fire worked on extrication, HFD helped direct the safe landing of a Native Air medical helicopter right on the interstate for rapid patient transport. 🛬❤️

The single patient was safely transported to the hospital.

Our recent Guardian Air Landing Zone training proved extremely valuable on this call! ✅💪

This incident highlights why HFD is committed to ongoing training — both internally and with our regional partners. Multiple agencies worked seamlessly together under difficult conditions to provide extrication, medical care, and transport for the injured patient.

Strong partnerships = better outcomes for our communities! 🤝🙌

Thank you to Pinewood Fire, Native Air, and all personnel involved for your teamwork! 👏🔥

🚁🛡️ Highlands Fire District trains with Guardian Air Transport!

This week our crews joined Guardian Air Transport for a realistic simulated multi-patient UTV rollover involving pediatric trauma patients. 🏍️🚑

The drill included the landing of Guardian’s helicopter on scene, with Highlands firefighters assisting in the treatment and care of multiple pediatric trauma patients. 👨‍🚒🩹👦

This valuable training strengthened our teamwork, enhanced our care for patients in rural areas, and improved our readiness for high-stakes helicopter landings and multi-patient scenarios. 💪✈️

Proud to train hard so we’re ready when it counts! 🔥🚁
