When you think of firefighters, you may think about the physical aspects of the profession. Our firefighters must be able to wear cumbersome equipment in extreme conditions and do very strenuous work. But like all physically demanding tasks, the mental aspects can be equally important. First responders are subjected to emotional scenes and suffer sleep deprivation. Our shift schedule can lead to relationship issues with friends and family.
On May 6 and 7, our nation will pause to honor 145 fallen firefighters at the 42nd National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend. Front Range Fire Rescue joins firefighters across the country remembering 79 firefighters who died in 2022 and 65 who died in previous years.
International Firefighters' Day is celebrated annually on May 4th to honor the bravery and sacrifices made by firefighters around the world. Join us in applauding the men and women of our district and those throughout the world who work as Firefighters.
Today we remember those firefighters who have given their lives while protecting our State. Members of our FRFR are assisting with today’s services.

Happy New Year!
I hope this finds you well as we start the New Year. January 1, 2023, marks a significant milestone at Front Range Fire Rescue; It is the 5th anniversary of the District. The District started as an Authority when the Milliken and Johnstown Fire Protection Districts joined forces in 2015. Then, after our residents voted in 2017, it merged into the Front Range Fire District on this date in 2018.
In the last few years, we have set a foundation to prepare for the growth and change that our area is experiencing.
