South Tucson Fire Department

==Area Served==
The South Tucson Fire Department provides fire protection and emergency medical services for the city of South Tucson, an enclave entirely surrounded by the City of Tucson, located some 108 miles southeast of the City of Phoenix and some 60 miles north of the United States–Mexico border, in Pima County, Arizona. The Spanish name of the city, Tucsón, is derived from the O'odham Cuk Ṣon, meaning "(at the) base of the black (hill)", a reference to a basalt-covered hill now known as Sentinel Peak. Incorporated as a city on August 10, 1936, South Tucson encompasses an area covering 1.03 square miles, and serves a population of approximately 4,613.
===Mutual Aid===
The South Tucson Fire Department has an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Tucson Fire Department with Tucson Fire Stations 1 and 10 providing backup services on structure fires for South Tucson.
==Department Profile==
The South Tucson Fire Department leadership is comprised of a fire department director (fire chief), and two full time fire captains, one covering "A shift", and the other "B shift". The third shift (C shift) is covered by a reserve captain or driver/operator lead. There are a total of 32 paid reserve firefighters that fill the schedule, all of them working out of a single fire station, housed in the same government complex as city hall and the police department.
