Rural Metro Fire - Pima County

11/21/2025

Engine 81 responded to a fire near East Benson Hwy this morning caused by a space heater. Firefighters were able to get into the home and quickly extinguish the fire before it spread to the rest of the home. As temperatures begin to drop, please make sure to use caution with space heaters. We also recommend having your HVAC unit service for the coming months!

Another furry friend rescued!!! This is "Big Boy." He got his foot stuck in a metal chair and his owner asked us to come and help. Big Boy was very patient and sweet throughout the rescue and is going to be just fine. Kudos to Engine 81 - Captain Richard Duarte, Engineer Bryce Drury, and Firefighters Steven Woodring and Tevin Villalba. GREAT WORK!!!
