Justin Flummer,
Fire Chief |
I was born and raised in Bullhead City, Arizona, and my connection to this community is profound. My father, a dedicated member of the Bullhead City Fire Department from 1978 to 2003, was my inspiration. His selfless service to others ignited a passion in me to become a firefighter, a dream I've pursued since my early years.
I started my career with the Bullhead City Fire Department in 2004 at 22 years old. Over the years, I've worked my way up through the ranks, gaining experience in various roles. Each step has strengthened my commitment to this community and the people I serve. Today, I serve as the Fire Chief for the Bullhead City Fire Department. In this role, I've spearheaded initiatives such as apparatus and radio purchases and upgraded the computer-aided dispatch system, significantly improving our department’s ability to respond to emergencies and be there for the community when needed. I'm dedicated to ensuring the safety of my fellow firefighters and the residents of Bullhead City. Beyond my role in the fire department, I am honored to serve as Vice President of the Mohave County Fire Officers Association. This position allows me to work alongside other regional fire service leaders to improve department training, safety, and coordination. I am also deeply committed to the Bullhead City Firefighters' Holiday Toy Drive, a program I have helped with for over 40 years. Making sure local children experience the joy of the holidays is a cause that has been close to my heart for decades, and I take great pride in helping bring the community together to support families in need. Family plays a central role in my life. I’m blessed with a loving wife and incredible children who are the heart of everything I do. Their support motivates me every day, and I’m grateful for the life we’ve built together. Whether it's cheering on our kids at local events or enjoying the outdoors as a family, they are my greatest source of pride. Looking ahead, I am determined to continue the legacy my father started. I envision leading the department in a manner that not only provides excellent service to the people of Bullhead City but also ensures our firefighters have the support and training they need. This community has given me everything, and I am committed to giving back through my work, leadership, and community outreach. |
