Freemasonry and the Fire Department

During the late 1970s and early '80s the Phoenix Fire Department hired a large number of firefighters. Our training academy was designed to accommodate 25 recruits. Hiring was so out of hand that we had to cap academy-class sizes at 40 recruits. This trend continued into the mid-'80s when the fire department took over emergency ambulance service.
