Senior Safety Camp is held every WEDNESDAY in September from 10-11:30 a.m. at the Training Center. Miss the first week? That's alright, you can still register and attend any of our remaining sessions! We'll meet next on Wednesday, Sept. 9. ⬇

🩸 The Arvada Fire Blood Drive with Vitalant - Colorado is off and running. The drive is from 10 AM - 2 PM today at the Training Center at 6651 Indiana St. We still have donation spots open and ready to fill. Walk-ins are welcome. Your one donation could save up to 3 lives — come be a hero!

We’ve had plenty of firefighters and members of the public donating already this morning. Pictured here is recently retired Firefighter Widom making a donation. He heard about the nationwide low blood supply, and also knows firsthand the impact donations can make for our prehospital whole blood program. These are two great reasons that led to him making his first ever blood donation.

Wherever your reason, donating blood is one of the most selfless gifts you can give.. Come on over and join us!

Our logistics team recently made a field trip to the Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance to donate old fire hose! The hose will be used for habitat enrichment for the animals and can be repurposed into toys, swings and hammocks.

Every year, we conduct annual hose testing to ensure our equipment meets certain standards. Hose that doesn't pass the test is retired from service. We're always looking for creative ways to recycle or reuse the hose, and several times we've been able to partner with the Denver Zoo. The durability and texture of fire hose makes for a great item in an exhibit.

After being decommissioned, the hose was cleaned and prepared for delivery. Our logistics specialists Matt and Bob transported the hose and met with Zookeeper Amanda, who is the daughter of our very own former dispatcher and current receptionist Jill O’Brian. Amanda gave our team a tour of a few exhibits and Bob even had the honor of feeding a camel.

Next time you are at the zoo, keep an eye out for the creative ways the fire hose is used! 🦒🐫

Everyone loves a story with firefighters and kittens, right?

On Sunday afternoon, Engine 51 B Shift responded to a service call at a shopping plaza off Olde Wadsworth Blvd. An observant citizen heard noises coming from a storm drain and discovered a litter of kittens stuck. The citizen called 911 and stayed on scene to point our crews to the exact location.

Engine 51 removed the lid of the storm drain and carefully plucked all four kittens from the drain. Then, our awesome friends with Arvada Police Department, Colorado Animal Control took the kittens to keep them under close observation to ensure they're happy and healthy. Soon, these kittens will be up for adoption, trading a cold, wet storm drain for a loving home. Good work, everybody! 🐈

Happy to help! Great teamwork and we're glad that Smokey is safe and sound. 👇

🩸 We need YOUR help!

You may have heard recently that there is a national blood supply crisis. Low blood supply can have serious consequences, forcing some patients to wait for the blood they desperately need.

Now is truly a heroic time to consider giving the gift of blood, and wouldn't you know it, we have a Blood Drive coming up with Vitalant - Colorado! The drive will be held on Friday, Aug. 28 from 10 AM-2 PM at the Training Center. Many of our firefighters will be donating, and we would sure appreciate it if you'd consider joining us.

1 donation could save up to 3 lives. Your donation also directly supports our prehospital whole blood transfusion program, which allows paramedics to give whole blood to critically injured patients before they even reach the hospital.

Station 58 and 60 B Shift conducted some wildland refresher training earlier this week at Fairmount Park. The crews practiced pump and roll and progressive hose pack deployments.

In wildland operations, firefighters use progressive hose lays to quickly extend hose reach while continuously applying water to a fire. Additionally, pump and roll is a form of mobile fire attack with a firefighter walking alongside a moving apparatus while flowing hand line.

Both Stations 58 and 60 are located on the west side of Arvada and have a large wildland-urban interface (WUI) area where these tactics are vital in stopping a fast-moving grass fire.

Always training, always ready!
