Superstition Fire Medical District

The Superstition Fire & Medical District (SFMD) is a political subdivision of the State of Arizona, headquartered in Apache Junction. Established in 1955, the district serves a diverse population of approximately 60,000 full-time residents, which swells to over 86,000 during the winter months. SFMD spans sixty-two square miles, encompassing the City of Apache Junction and several surrounding unincorporated areas. SFMD provides advanced life support (ALS) and fire-related life safety functions to its residents. These services are delivered through a three-platoon system managed by a team of battalion chiefs and station captains. In addition to their emergency response services, SFMD offers a range of community and technical services. SFMD's administrative structure is comprised of four key sections: Emergency Services, Community and Technical Services, Administrative Services, and Financial Services. Each section is led by a member of the Senior Leadership Team, reporting to the fire chief who directs administrative and operational services. The district is governed by a five-member board elected by the community. For more information about the Superstition Fire & Medical District, please visit sfmd.az.gov.
