About the Groom Creek Fire District

The Groom Creek Fire District was established in 1971 by the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors. We started as an all-volunteer organization dedicated to protecting life and property in the area six miles south of Prescott, AZ. We now have two full-time firefighters on shift and operate a fuels crew to assist with the clearing of vegetation to remain a Firewise Community.

Our personnel perform fire and emergency medical services and are trained in technical rescue, paramedicine, hazardous materials, wildland firefighting, fire prevention activities and more. If you have any questions about our operations, please feel free to stop by the fire station at 1110 E Friendly Pines Rd.
