Adams County Fire Rescue

Adams County Fire Rescue offers fire and ambulance services in Adams County.
The crew from Brush Engine 11 is getting their steps in! The crew was recently called in to help contain the Steer Fire, which is believed to have been started by lightening in northern Nevada.
The fire was located on top of a very steep plateau, and only accessible by foot. It required our firefighters to hike over an hour just to even get to the fire.
And of course, thank you to aerial resources for helping the cause!
Crews recently spent time at our training center on working command in live fire incidents. Working command involves the officer going inside with their crew, not only managing their own firefighters, but also delegating assignments to incoming crews.
Not only can the officer assist with moving hose and performing searches, but also with potential maydays.
Studies have shown the best chance of mitigating a mayday often comes from the same crew. The officer can communicate with command while locating and extricating the downed firefighter.

We want to give a huge thank you to the men and women from Wildflower Veterinary Hospital and Zoetis Petcare for their sponsorship of our new arson dog, Apollo. The organizations are donating veterinary care for Apollo as well as all necessary medications. It means the world to us that you not only are helping our fire department, but our community as well. Thank you!

While temperatures are cooling down here in Colorado, Brush Engine 11 is still keeping a close eye on fire danger during their deployment in northeast California, near the tiny town of Likely, population just 50 to 60 people!
Working alongside the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service the crew is patrolling the area, watching for new fire starts and quickly taking care of smaller fires before they have a chance to become major incidents.
When they’re not out patrolling, the crew has also been taking advantage of some downtime to get in valuable training and keep their skills sharp!

Congratulations to Firefighter Daylan Hamilton on his retirement after 21 years in the fire service! While Daylan describes himself as more of a “behind the scenes” kind of guy, his impact on ACFR and our community is anything but.
Firefighter Hamilton played an integral role in helping our department secure the 14,000 pound elevator motor recovered from the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Because of his efforts, this important piece of history now has a permanent home at ACFR, where it will serve as a place of remembrance and reflection for generations to come.
Daylan, thank you for your kindness, your hard work, and the many contributions you have made throughout your career to make ACFR a better place.
Crews were called to a vehicle fire this afternoon in the 5700 block of Alcott Street at 1:35pm, which quickly was upgraded to a structure fire. An electric vehicle in the garage caught fire and ultimately spread into the home. Engine 11 was the first to arrive and saw flames coming from the front, side, and back of the garage. The roof of the garage eventually caved in as well as part of the home's roof, causing firefighters to take a defensive strategy and utilize aerial operations. Fortunately, the homeowner had evacuated the home immediately, and was not injured.

Like many fire departments across the country, this morning we gathered to remember the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. But for our department and our community, this year’s remembrance was a little different.
Today, we unveiled a 14,000 pound elevator motor recovered from the North Tower of the World Trade Center, a piece of history that will now forever remain with our department and our community. It stands as a permanent reminder of the nearly 3,000 lives lost that day, including the 343 FDNY firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Every speaker at today’s ceremony was a firefighter. They spoke not only about the significance of having an artifact from the World Trade Center here at ACFR, but also about what September 11th means to them personally and what it continues to mean to those who serve in the fire service.
We would like to thank The Counterterrorism Education Learning Lab (The Cell), for helping us acquire such an important part of history.
If you weren’t able to attend today’s ceremony, we invite you to stop by Station 11 and see this piece of history for yourself.
Crews responded a fire this morning just after 9:45am involving an electric vehicle inside a warehouse in the 400 block of W. 56th Ave. Engine 13 was the first to arrive and saw...well... we'll let Captain Ben Ramos tell you exactly what he and his crew saw...
(We should add everyone had evacuated prior to our crews arrival)
