A new chief is in place at Arizona Fire & Medical Authority.
Mark Burdick, officially approved as the agency’s new fire chief, brings close to 40 years of fire service experience to Sun City West and to Arizona Fire & Medical. His career began in 1983 with Glendale Fire Department and worked through almost every rank, including chief.
Former Arizona Fire & Medical Chief Robert Biscoe hired Burdick as strategic initiatives director in 2017 to guide the organization’s direction from that point forward. He then moved to an assistant chief role for one year before being hired as Buckeye Valley Fire District chief from 2019 until May 15.
