The Mayer Fire district just took delivery of two complete sets of firefighting personal protective gear. This was made possible from the 100 Club of Arizona’s Safety Enhancement Stipend grant program. The members of Mayer Fire are extremely grateful for this award and all the 100 Club does for our First Responders across Arizona!
• Mayer Fire District received four sets of personal protective gear worth $12,626 through the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation. The awarded gear, which includes helmets, coats, pants, boots, gloves and hoods, will provide necessary protection in the line of duty, allowing firefighters to provide safe and efficient services to their community.
A structure fire that destroyed a home at the Creekside Lodge in the 11000 block of South Highway 69 early Thursday morning, March 9, is being investigated as a case of arson, Sheriff’s spokesman Dwight D’Evelyn said.
The call came in at about 4:20 a.m., when the residents of the manager’s house at the Lodge awoke to find their back porch on fire, Mayer Fire Chief Eric Kriwer said.

CORDES LAKES — A single engine airplane made an emergency landing in the 1500 block of Brahma Drive Wednesday, Feb. 8, according to Mayer Fire Chief Eric Kriwer. The small plane’s cockpit began to fill with smoke just before 1 p.m., the two men on board told firefighters, and the pilot made the decision to land on the street. He avoided power lines in the area and set the plane down with little damage. Kriwer said the smoke came from an on-board electrical fire. The two men were taken to a Phoenix hospital to be checked out for smoke inhalation, Kriwer said.
Mayer Fire crews were extremely busy during the Christmas and New Year holidays due to winter storm weather conditions. There were multiple vehicle accidents as well as a water rescue. The occupants were able to exit the vehicle after the flash flood waters subsided.
Today your Mayer Firefighters (alongside Santa) delivered an abundance of presents as well as Christmas dinner to 3 families who were in need for the holidays. This was made possible by the Mayer Firefighters Charity, as well as the time devoted from the firefighters, their families, and of course our community. The joy on these childrens faces was truly what this season is all about.
A local family stopped by to show the kids our fire apparatus and talk about fire safety. Feel free to stop by anytime or call administration to set up a visit!
Mayer Fire administrative staff and firefighters served Thanksgiving lunch for the Mayer Area Meals on Wheels fundraising event. It was a great day celebrating the Seasons with our community!
Congratulations to Ed and Ken! Thank you for your service.
