Helmet Peak Volunteer Fire Department
The Helmet Peak Volunteer Fire Department (HPVFD) was established in 1992 by members of the local community to provide essential fire and emergency medical services after the previous fire department serving the area ceased operations due to financial difficulties. The department proudly serves the historic San Xavier community, a mining area established in the early 1800s.
Station 280 is located approximately 15 miles south of Tucson and 8 miles west of the Town of Sahuarita. The department provides fire protection, emergency medical services, rescue operations, and public safety education to approximately 3,500 residents across a 30-square-mile response area.
Our service area includes:
Curly Horn Ranch
Ocotillo Ranch
Wrangler Ranch
Flying Diamond Airpark
University of Arizona San Xavier Mine Training Facility
Komatsu Proving Ground
Several churches and community facilities
Travelers along scenic Mission Road
