Where did the author work?

• A. Phoenix FD
• B. Phoenix Fire Department
• C. Phoenix Police Department
• D. Phoenix Fire District

Answer: (A)

Understanding abbreviations for public-safety agencies is the key. FD is the standard shorthand for Fire Department, especially in bios, reports, or references related to firefighting. When the author writes Phoenix FD, that signals they were part of the Fire Department serving Phoenix. The other possibilities point to different entities—police departments are usually PD, and a fire district would be a separate jurisdiction and not the same shorthand. So the framing Phoenix FD most clearly indicates the Fire Department.
