We are one of three non tax supported, all volunteer fire departments in Colorado. We are supported by grants, voluntary outside contributions, residents donations, and by our Mountain Festival, which is a major fundraiser!

As a Non-Profit or Educational Source, you make a difference in our community through the information and the opportunities you offer. We would love for you to participate with a booth or demonstration in our event!
