Pet Summer Safety Tip:  
Protect your furry friends from the summer heat! Remember, if you can't walk barefoot on the path for five seconds, it's too hot for your dog's paws. Stay safe and walk them later.  #MesaLovesAnimals

Mesa is Monsoon Ready

Summertime in Arizona ushers in the season of storms. The City of Mesa, like most valley cities, has made preparations for the monsoon and would like to remind residents how to be ready when a monsoon strikes.

“As the monsoon moves into the valley, our fire crews are ready to respond to any emergencies day or night,” Assistant Fire Chief Cori Hayes said. “One way residents can protect their homes from rising waters is with free sand and bags available at five Mesa fire stations.”

Sand and empty bags are available at the following locations (bring your own shovel):

• Fire Station 202, 830 S. Stapley Drive
• Fire Station 204, 1426 S. Extension Road
• Fire Station 205, 730 S. Greenfield Road
• Fire Station 209, 7035 E. Southern Ave.
• Fire Station 212, 2430 E. Ellsworth Road

The Mesa Transportation Department has sandbags available at the following locations:

• Transportation Building, 300 E. 6th St.
• East Mesa Service Center, 3965 E. Decatur St.

The History of Mesa Fire and Medical Department Honor Guard

The Mesa Fire and Medical Department Honor Guard is a nationally recognized ceremonial unit that has represented the department and honored fallen firefighters since 1996.

Originally formed in October 1996 in support of one of our firefighter members diagnosed with terminal cancer; the volunteers quickly banded together to purchase uniforms and learn how to perform a funeral service at his request for his funeral in December of that year. 

The MFD Honor Guard was the first fire department honor guard in the State of Arizona.  The pipes and drums were added to the original corps of guards in 1997.

• One of our founding members, Rick Apple, has attended the International Fallen FF Memorial (FFFM) in Colorado Springs, CO since its inception and was asked to serve as one of the first IAFF FFFM Honor Guard Commanders from 1992-2001.  MFMD members currently serve in multiple leadership positions of the IAFF FFFM.
• In 1997, our team was the first fire department honor guard to post Colors during the Congressional Fire Service Institute (CFSI) annual meeting, in Washington DC. 
• Performed at the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation FFFM in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
• Our team has coordinated the opening ceremonies of the Arizona State Fire School annually since the school moved to Mesa in the early 2000s. 
• 2002, members of our team traveled to New York to participate in the first anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks honoring their brothers and sisters.
• 2013, Members of the MFMD Honor Guard served on the Incident Management Team planning some of the most complex funeral services in the history of the modern fire service for the 19 Granite Mountain Hot shot funerals: coordinating 250 honor guard members from over 140 different agencies throughout the US and Canada.

MFMD Nationally Certified Car Seat Techs assist and educate residents on the proper installation of child passenger safety seats (car seats and boosters).

Mesa Fire and Medical is committed to keeping families safe. Statistics show three out of four car seats are not installed correctly.

As each vehicle is different, our Car Seat Technicians are nationally certified to educate and teach citizens on how to properly install their own car seats in their vehicle.

MFMD Car Seat Clinics are free and available by appointment, to all community members.  If classes are full, please call us at 480-644-5201 and we will do our best to fit you in.
