I would assume that outside the large metro areas of AZ that they do use
volunteer Firefighters. I think Christopher Creek is Volunteer.   I know
that large portions of CA are covered mainly by volunteers, they even use
them in striketeams(5 engines) as mutual aid throughout all of Calif.  The
training for them vary from area to area, some require the same as paid
departments and some are less, though the trend from the State level is
requiring them to have more training thus driving the volunteers away.  They
just don't have the time to do all the required training.

Thanks for the replies. It seems kind of a shame that
the state doesn't have a volunteer firefighters
program, kind of like the Guard. Volunteers going out
once every so often to get the knowledge so they could
be of assistance instead of getting in the way.
