Message from the Fire Chief
It is both an honor and a privilege to serve the Pinetop community as your Fire Chief.
Our organization is built on a proud tradition of service, professionalism, and dedication to protecting lives, property, and the natural beauty that makes this area so special. As I step into this role, I am committed to continuing that legacy while also strengthening our readiness, teamwork, and connection with the community we serve.
In today’s environment, the fire service faces evolving challenges—from wildfire risk and emergency medical response to disaster preparedness and community resilience. Meeting these challenges requires not only highly trained and dedicated personnel, but also strong partnerships with residents, businesses, and neighboring agencies. Together, we can build a safer and more prepared community.
My focus as Chief is guided by three core priorities:
- Safety and Excellence – Ensuring our personnel have the training, equipment, and leadership necessary to respond effectively and safely to every call.
- Community Engagement – Strengthening relationships through education, outreach, and open communication with the people we serve.
- Preparedness and Prevention – Working proactively to reduce risk through fire prevention efforts, defensible space awareness, and emergency readiness.
I believe our fire district is strongest when it is deeply connected to its community. I encourage you to get to know your firefighters, participate in safety programs, and take an active role in protecting your home and neighborhood.
On behalf of the men and women of the Pinetop Fire District, thank you for your trust and support. We are proud to serve you—24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Stay safe,
Joshua Livermore
