The land for Sun City Fire Station 7 was donated to the County by the Del Webb Corporation.  Construction of the fire station was contracted out at a cost of $65,000.  Captain Terry Schmutz and Engineer Don Feely did several months of public relations prior to the opening of the station on January 27, 1972.  The Sun City Volunteer Company was established on December 14, 1971 with 28 people signing up for membership.  The volunteer company was comprised mostly of men over 60 years of age.  These new volunteers were not trained in fire suppression, but in communications, fire prevention, crowd control and public relations.  A specific number of 5 volunteers would be trained in fire suppresion and be identified as Fire Control Corps.

Some of the fire engines that have been assigned to the station include a 1976 International Loadstar, a 1980 Crown, a 1985 Spartan Van Pelt, a 1991 E-One and a 2001 HME Westates.  The vounteer company placed its first squad into service in 1973.  It was a 1973 Chevrolet crew cab pickup with a utility body donated by the local Chevrolet dealer.
