Sun Lakes has lost a very familiar face, as Arizona Fire & Medical Authority Battalion Chief Steve McCoy has retired after 35 years in fire suppression and emergency medical care, all of them in the service of the men and women of Sun Lakes. The Sun Lakes Fire Department became the Arizona Fire & Medical Authority to better serve the community.
