Every day, children are born with muscular dystrophy, and adults are diagnosed with ALS and other life-threatening diseases that take away their most basic freedoms - like walking, talking, eating, hugging, and ultimately life itself.

For more than sixty years, fire fighters have been Filling the Boot on street corners - raising money to help MDA fight back. With COVID guidelines we are conducting the drive online.

Now I'm asking you to help us Fill the Boot.

Good Day!

I hope your summer is going well and you are healthy and safe. We have been extremely busy at #FrontRangeFireRescue (FRFR), and I wanted to take a little time to update you on what we’ve been doing.

We are still managing the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the August Pension and Regular Board meetings will be held both virtually and in-person tomorrow, August 11th at 6:00 pm; instructions to join the conference can be received by emailing info@frfr.co.

Today you might notice something new at FRFR. Our crews are wearing red t-shirts instead of our standard blue ones. Why red? Red is worn by many public service agencies to “Remember Everyone Deployed.” We are wearing these in honor of those military service members keeping us safe in the US and abroad. We are also honoring those firefighters among our ranks who are veterans. This is especially timely this week, as one of our firefighters, Ryan Boor, just returned to the firehouse this week from a year-long military deployment.

Look for our crews wearing RED every Friday!

The preliminary votes have been counted. Preliminary (unofficial) results for board members are:

• Rutt: 73
• Young: 65
• Freehling: 53
• Burns: 36

The final count will be held after any UOCAVA voted ballots are returned, on or around ‪May 13, 2020‬. A special thank you to all of the candidates and to those who took time to cast ballots.

The recent Covid-19 outbreak has impacted every community in Colorado. Based on the advice of local and state health officials, we have decided to close FRFR’s administrative offices to in-person visitors, effective March 16 through March 31 to protect the health, safety, and well-being of our community members and staff. Our dedication to providing timely and professional emergency services to our community remains our highest priority.

The Town of Johnstown and Front Range Fire Rescue will begin enforcing the 2018 International Fire Code on February 1st. For several months, staff from the Town and FRFR, along with Loveland Fire, have been reviewing the fire code to ensure that it provides a consistent and high level of public safety throughout all areas of the Town.

The bravery of Front Range Fire Rescue (FRFR) first responders and young hero, Parker Freeman was on full display Tuesday as Fire Chief Michael West awarded Parker with the Life Saving Award in front of the Front Range Fire Rescue Board of Directors.
