Peace officer status for Arizona fire department arson investigators?

[KB7MIB]

I'm curious as to whether fire department arson investigators/fire marshals in Arizona have peace officer status through AZPOST, allowing them to carry firearms and make arrests, or if they rely on their law enforcement agency counterparts for protection when needed and for any arrests that are made?
