From the Desk of the Fire Chief 

The Phoenix Fire Department is an established organization that maintains a level of professionalism throughout our continued mission.  We are a department that works from the heart and the tradition of the fire service.  As a department that works and eats as a family, we have learned over the years to overcome many obstacles that may stall us from achieving perfection.  I can say I am truly proud of the men and women that are part of this department.  As a department, we will continue to serve and protect the citizens of The Village of Phoenix.
