Station 171 was originally built in 1985 and reconstructed in 2004. As AFM's busiest station, the Fighting 171 proudly protects Avondale's Historic District and neighborhoods, the Phoenix-Goodyear Airport, and some of Avondale's largest big box commercial businesses. Engine 171 (E171) is one of the units assigned to Station 171 which is staffed by one Captain, one Engineer, and two Firefighters. At least two of the personnel assigned to E171 are paramedics. Brush 171 (BR171) is a four-wheel drive truck with special capabilities for responding to brush fires. When dispatched for a brush fire, E171's crew will respond in BR171. Considered a Type 3 Engine, BR171 is often deployed around the southwest to help protect communities threatened by large wildfires. Water Tender 171 (WT171) is a 2000-gallon water tender that was acquired using a generous grant from the Gila River Indian Community. WT171 provides a mobile water source for firefighting operations in areas where hydrants are in short supply.

Also at Station 172 is CV171, a jointly operated Avondale Police and Fire Command Vehicle designed to provide a secure area to serve as a Command Post at large emergency incidents or events. Station 172 proudly protects Avondale's busy Gateway commercial area, five hotels, the medical corridor, two high schools, the Avondale Auto Mall, and Universal Technical Institute.

Units Assigned: L175, LT175, BC171, LA175

Fire Station 175 First Due Map

Station 175 is Avondale Fire & Medical's newest fire station and was constructed in 2021 and located in the middle of the city to fill a response gap and provide call relief to Avondale's four other stations. The station currently houses Battalion Chief 171 (BC171), Ladder 175 (L175), Ladder Tender 175 (LT175) and the Low Acuity Unit 175 )LA175) . L175 is staffed by one Captain, one Engineer, and two Firefighters. At least two crew members on L175 are paramedics. Ladder companies perform special functions on the emergency scene; extrication, ventilation, forcible entry, deploying ground ladders, and operating elevated master streams. Since ladder trucks are expensive apparatus to purchase and maintain, AFM also has LT175 assigned to the station. LT175 is operated by the same crew as L175 but is utilized to respond to mostly EMS calls, keeping the wear and tear down on L175. BC171 is staffed by one Battalion Chief (BC) and one Captain (Battalion Safety Officer or BSO). The BC serves as the shift commander and the BSO as the shift's Safety Officer. BC171 normally responds to larger incidents where a formal incident command system is needed to effectively and safely manage the emergency response. LA175 is a two-person unit that responds to low acuity calls within Avondale which leaves the other units available for more emergent ALS calls, fires, or rescues. The units from Station 175 are charged with protecting the business corridors along Dysart Road and Avondale Blvd, the BLVD commercial and entertainment center, the residents of Coldwater Springs, and several multi-family residences located in the center of Avondale.
