Our History

The Desert Hills Fire District was created through an election in 1971 when a majority of voters elected to create a taxpayer supported fire district. The original fire district included the communities of Desert Hills and Crystal Beach but was later expanded to include the communities of Havasu Heights and areas of Interstate 40.

The first elected Fire Chief was Larry VanBynen. He was followed by Chief Alvin Chapman, Chief Leonard Wells, Chief Bob Bouldin, and Chief Mathew Espinoza. Chief Bill Weber and Chief Pat Dennen were selected by the board of directors to serve as fire chief. In 2019 the board of directors appointed Battalion Chief Bryant Stanec and Battalion Chief Stephen Bunn.

In 2012, the state legislature enacted a law that forced all fire districts governed by an elected fire chief and secretary-treasurer to become governed by a fire-board. On December 1, 2012, Denny Burns, Howard Coulson and John Hayes were elected as the first fire board members of the fire district.

The original fire station was located in a Quonset hut at 3979 London Bridge Road. In the early 80's a building at Davis Camp was disassembled and transported in three parts to the address at 3983 London Bridge Road. Using a tremendous amount of donated labor and materials, the donated building was than reassembled with additions added and was dedicated as the new fire station in the spring of 1986.
