Front Range Fire Rescue (FRFR) swore in its newest full-time member Wednesday night, at the FRFR Board meeting. Bishop Dickerson will join the department after serving the last 15 months as a reserve firefighter. Chief Michael West conducted the oath and other department staff welcomed Dickerson by assisting in the ceremony.

West said, "Bishop has demonstrated our values of compassion, courage, and professionalism. I appreciate his drive, and I am confident that he will be an excellent addition to our department."
