Chief & Staff Biographies

Fire Chief Payne has been in the fire service for the last 30 years. He served 3 years as the Deputy Fire Chief here at Heber-Overgaard Fire District. As a paramedic, and firefighter, his dedication to public service has always been at the forefront of his career.  He, his wife and two children moved to Heber-Overgaard in June of 2020 from Fountain Hills and have enjoyed every minute of mountain living.  Community service and involvement are something he believes in very strongly.
