The 14-week academy was comprised of nine recruits from the Chandler Fire Department and 12 recruits from other fire departments in the Valley, including the Scottsdale Fire Department, the 26% Arizona Fire Medical Authority and the Tolleson Fire Department.
The city of Chandler also selected an architectural firm to complete the design of the expansion of Fire Station 2 in North Chandler. In addition to providing quality paramedical training opportunities, Chandler is also committed to protecting its citizens' rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.

They facilitated these demonstrations to take place safely and legally, without harming or endangering people or property. The city of Chandler is dedicated to providing its citizens with quality services and opportunities.
