Narrative
Please structure your proposal to provide the following information in the order indicated. Provide the narrative
in paragraph form in the text field provided. Please be thorough but strive for brevity.
1. Briefly describe the organization’s history, mission and goals.
The Goldfield Ranch Volunteer Fire Department (GRVFD) is an Initial Attack Wildland Fire Unit. We are
made up of Goldfield Ranch residents - volunteers who are professionally trained, equipped, insured
and certified by the State of Arizona to fight wildland fire. We were established in 2010 to provide first
response for wildland fire threats to the Goldfield Ranch neighborhood – putting the little fires out before
they become big.
2. If the applying organization is non-municipal or a non-profit 501c, please describe your relationship with
Arizona municipalities including past and present support, whether through partnerships, collaborations,
in-kind contributions, grants, tax-based funding or other. Describe the supporting municipality’s role in
this project. If the applying organization is a municipality governmental sub-division please enter the
text “Not applicable.”
We maintain an Inter- Governmental Agreement with the Arizona State Forestry Division. This
agreement allows our cooperators to help us with incidents on Goldfield Ranch, and allow us to help
them as well off Goldfield Ranch. To this end we share some equipment and have received some
grant opportunities from other cooperators. We are also a contributing member of the Central Arizona
Wildland Response Team (CAWRT), and are dispatched to incidents outside Goldfield Ranch by the
Arizona Inter-Agency Dispatch Center.
3. Describe the proposed project and planned goals and activities.
Construct a pre-fab metal building to house our firefighting equipment and operations.
4. Describe how the proposed project satisfies one or more of the priority funding areas identified by the
Gila River Indian Community.
As an initial attack wildland fire department, we protect the public safety of the residents of Goldfield
Ranch and surrounding communities.

5. Identify the needs/problems to be addressed, target population and number of people to be served by
the project.
Because of our relatively small size (5500 acres, 350+ homes, 500+ residents) our fire district does not
have the tax base necessary for a full-time fire department. Due to the remote location of Goldfield
Ranch, we are too far away to be absorbed into a lager fire district. It is up to us to work with the
federal, state and other municipalities to piece together the capabilities necessary to defend our homes.
6. Define the project as a new or continuing program.
The Goldfield Ranch VFD Fire Station is a new project.
7. Provide a brief timeline including start and finish dates. Indicate if the timeline is flexible.
Planning and construction would commence as soon as funding becomes available, and would likely be
complete by the end of 2019. This timeline is flexible.
8. Identify other organizations, partners or funders participating in the project and their roles.
We are currently in negotiations with several Goldfield property owners to provide property for us to
build the station on.
9. Would you be able to implement the proposed plan if your organization received partial funding for this
project?
Yes – additional funding from other state, federal and private sources may be available and can be
developed once we get started.
10. Describe your plan for project financial sustainability beyond the grant period. If this is a
program/project previously funded by the Gila River Indian Community describe efforts made towards
the previously described sustainability plan.
On-going operating budget to operate the department and run the facility will be generated through
charitable support from the Goldfield Ranch community and other benefactors.

11. Describe your plan to document progress and results.
We will report directly to the Gila River Indian Community on progress in whatever format you desire at
least monthly until the project is complete.
12. Indicate any application to and/or awards made by a tribe other than the Gila River Indian Community
for state shared revenues for this and any other project for the past five (5) years. If this information is
included in a separate attachment, please indicate that here.
We received a $10,000 award from the Fort McDowell Yavapai nation in 2017. This money is budgeted
toward property acquisition for the station.
