Public Safety

During the high temperatures, it is important to plan ahead to avoid heat-related illness. Queen Creek Fire Station 1 will serve as the donation center with the Queen Creek Fire and Medical Department and the Queen Creek Police Department distributing water bottles to individuals in need. The goal is to collect 250 cases of bottled water. 

The goal of the project was to foster trust and partnership between the Queen Creek Police Department and Desert Lily Academy. Through innovative program elements and a model designed to address the unique needs of young women, the local academy helps youth build bright and meaningful futures for themselves and their community.

This is a two-step application process. Complete and submit a "Firefighter Recruit" job application with the Town of Queen Creek by Sunday, May 12 at 11:59 p.m. MST.
