To Report a Wildfire
 

Welcome to the

Arizona State Forestry Division


1110 West Washington, Suite 100
Phoenix,  Arizona  85007 


The Arizona State Forestry Division provides for the prevention and suppression of wildland fires on state and private lands located outside of incorporated municipalities.  

This mission is accomplished through the use of cooperative agreements with local, state and federal agencies as well as other entities organized to prevent and suppress wildfires.  To further enhance these capabilities, State Forestry Fuels and Fire Crews are provided through the Arizona Department of Corrections.

Through our programs we protect 22,400,000 acres of state and private lands.

The Forestry Division is also engaged in forest management and urban and communities forestry activities designed to enhance forest health.

Disaster and Emergency Information

  Whether it is a disaster, emergency or local threats like wildland fires, for public safety information visit:

 


 
Arizona Incident
Management Team

The Arizona State Forestry Division and the Arizona Division of Emergency Management jointly sponsor the Arizona Incident Management Team (Arizona IMT). The team consists of employees of the Forestry Division, ADEM, state and Federal government as well as local fire fepartments throughout the state.

While the majority of the team’s experience is wildland fire, the team is organized with “multi hazard” intent and is used to manage a wide range of incidents and events at the local, state and Federal levels within Arizona and around the country.

The Arizona IMT can be configured and will respond to meet the requirements of almost any All-Risk incident up to and including a Type-2 Level.  The team will respond as a Type-3 IMT, a Type-2 Short IMT, a Type-2 Long IMT, or as ordered depending on the needs and desires of agency administrators responsible for the incident.
