No exceptions. When submitting a court-ordered request by mail, please send to: Sedona Fire District, Attn: EMS Administrative Assistant, 2860 Southwest Drive, Sedona, AZ 86336. If submitting by fax, send to: 928-282-6810.

The national Insurance Service Organization (ISO) collects information on municipal fire-protection efforts in communities throughout the U.S. For each community, ISO analyzes relevant data and assigns a Public Protection Classification from 1 to 10. Class 1 generally represents superior property-fire protection; Class 10 indicates that the area’s fire-suppression program doesn’t meet ISO’s minimum criteria. The program provides an objective, countrywide standard that helps fire departments like SFD plan and budget for facilities, equipment, and training.
ISO classification is based on location. As of June 1, 2016, properties within the Sedona Fire District are rated as Class 3, unless they are located more than five (5) and less than seven (7) road miles from a staffed fire station, in which case the fire-protection rating is Class 10W. The “W” distinction means the 10W risk (or property) is within 1,000 feet of a creditable water supply* Creditable water supplies include fire protection systems using hauled water, a capability of SFD.
For properties located seven (7) or more road miles from a staffed fire station, the fire-protection rating is Class 10. Click here to see the addresses of SFD staffed fire stations.
*A creditable water supply is defined as one or both of the following:
- A water system capable of delivering 250 gpm or more for a period of 2 hours plus consumption at the maximum daily rate at a fire location.
- Fire department supply capable of delivering 250 gpm or more for a period of 2 hours at a fire location beginning within 5 minutes of arrival of the first-due engine.
Sedona Fire District is generally capable of meeting criteria #2 above at all addresses within 7 road miles of a staffed fire station. Special conditions may exist due to traffic, weather, call volume, or other unforeseen circumstances which could delay water delivery.

If you are having an emergency, please dial 9-1-1 or go to an emergency room.
If available, SFD personnel can take non-emergency blood pressure readings at Station 1 (2860 Southwest Drive), 4 days a week, from 9 AM – 4 PM. If the crew is out responding to an emergency call, you could check back later or stop by the Urgent Care.
Yes! Call the non-emergency dispatch number 928-649-1397 with approximate ceiling height and the next available crew will come take care of that for you, day or night, emergency calls permitting. Be sure to have spare batteries available.
The Ride Along Program allows individuals 16 years or older to ride along with the crew in a fire truck or command vehicle. Recognized youth programs such as the Boy & Girl Scouts, Police Explorers, or local schools may sponsor youth aged 16 and older to participate with a parent or guardian signature.
Riders must wear close-toed shoes, jeans or slacks in good repair, and a collared shirt. SFD may deny any request that may delay emergency response or create a safety hazard for the individual or the fire crew.
SFD does not permit riders after dark. Reasonable accommodations will be made whenever possible. If the ride-along cannot be accommodated, other information or tours will be provided. Participants must complete a Liability Waiver prior to the Ride Along. Call (928) 282-6800 or email training@sedonafire.org to learn more.
Station tours can be arranged for formal and informal groups, large and small, by calling 928-282-6800 or emailing frontdesk@sedonafire.org. Please remember our first priority is to serve the community through emergency response. All arrangements are subject to change based on availability of the crew. A liability waiver must be completed prior to the tour.
The short answer is no. Occasionally, SFD will offer an auction item to a local charity and has included birthday parties, lunch with the crew, and a day with the Chief in the past, so check those auction listings. See Station Tours above if you’d like to meet the crew and see the engine up close, and if the bay doors are open when you drive by, you are welcome to stop and say hello.
