About Us

---

Located in the southwestern corner of Arizona, Yuma County covers an area of just over 5,500 square miles and is home to approximately 205,600 people protected by multiple paid and volunteer fire departments. Through a common interest, these fire departments have come together to form the Yuma County Fire Officers Association.

The mission and purpose of the Yuma County Fire Officers Association, through a close bond of friendship and understanding, is to provide a medium for exchange of information and ideas between fire department leadership within Yuma County. The interest of the association is focused on promoting a standard of training to improve the efficiency of the fire service in general, to promote uniformity of thinking and action among fire officers relative to fire protection policies, and to advocate or oppose legislation affecting the fire service.
