Welcome to Walker Community!
Located in the Bradshaw Mountains, south of Prescott, AZ, Walker Community is an old mining district, filled with history. It’s named after Joseph Walker, mountain man, explorer, and guide. He led a party to this valley to discover gold in the summer of 1863.
Today, the valley is filled with rustic cabins and elegant homes. There’s a vibrant community of people here, with an active social calendar. Some live here full-time, while others have second homes here.
Everyone loves it here. The community is great, with pancake breakfasts and other social events.

Ignitions are planned to start on Thursday November 10, 2022, and continue through Wednesday November 23, 2022, as favorable weather conditions allow. Fire managers expect smoke impacts to be light in the surrounding areas. Pile burning helps to reduce hazardous fuels in the wildland urban interface and increases ecosystem and community resilience.

Big Update On Walker Fire’s Type 3 Engine!
We have big news about our new Type 3 Engine!
We were expecting to have a 15-24 month wait period before we’d be able
to take delivery. Another department somewhere had to back out of the Type
3 engine they ordered so the manufacturer reached out to us, and we of
course said yes. We expect it to be here in September.
Roger will be at the pancake breakfast tomorrow if you’d like to stop by
to learn more.
Please consider going to walkerfire.org to make a donation toward Engine
83.
Thank you!

ILLEGAL DUMPING AT WFPA PARKING LOT
Email from WFPA.
Over the last few days we have had several instances of people dumping
illegally on the WFPA parking lot. One was a dump trailer full of slash.The WFPA parking lot is not a dump.
The Chip and Haul program has been finished for several weeks.
We continue to have people abusing the garbage dumpsters as well.
This practice has to stop.
New cameras will be installed this week and violators will be reported to
the Yavapai County Sheriff’s office for prosecution.Bill Loughrige
