Thanks you for taking an interest in
Tucson Fire Department history —
This is one of many sections that contain information, documents, letters, newspaper articles,
pictures, etc. They have been collected and arranged in chronological order or by a subject.
These items were collected, organized and entered into a computerized database by Dave Ridings Assistant Chief Tucson Fire Department, Al Ring friend of the department, Greater Tucson Fire Foundation and with the help of many friends and fellow firefighters.
All graphics have been improved to make the resolution as good as possible, but the reader
should remember that many came from copies of old newspaper articles. This also applies to
other items such as documents, letters, etc.
Credit to the source of the documents, photos, etc. is provided whenever it was available. We
realize that many items are not identified and regret that we weren’t able to provide this information. As far as the newspaper articles that are not identified, 99% of them would have to be
from one of three possible sources. The Arizona Daily Star, The Tucson Citizen and the Tucson Daily Citizen, for which we want to give a special thanks.
Please use this information as a reference tool only. If the reader uses any of the information
for any purpose other than a reference tool, they should get permission from the source.
Should the reader have additional information on the above subject we would appreciate you
sharing it with us. Please see the names and contact information on the 1st. TFD Archives page
right below this paragraph.
