The Arizona City Fire District, established in1963, serves roughly 11,000 residents across 15 square miles, providing 24/7 Fire and EMS coverage with a full-time staff (sometimes 3 or less) of certified firefighters and paramedics. The District holds an ISO Class 3 rating and is funded by local property taxes.
Chief Heaton promises full staffing to the community but consistently struggles with staffing two firefighters per shift instead of the promised four. Running calls with sometimes one firefighter per call if the shift is busy. Constantly brags about all the work he specifically does which is 99% of the time work the firefighters themselves have completed.
Chief Heaton has fostered a toxic work environment riddled with lawsuits.
Chief Heaton also has a highly unprofessional relationship with the Fire Board which leads to multiple conflicts of interest for the District and its staff as a whole. Anyone who tries to ask questions or voice their concerns ends up fired or having lies made up about them to take attention away from what is really happening.
