🌡With temperatures in the upper 80s and 90s this week, we want to share this message from our friends with American Red Cross of Colorado! A parked car can become dangerously hot in minutes.

In just 10 minutes, the temperature inside a vehicle can rise nearly 20°F. The temperature can become dangerous even with the windows cracked. This summer don't forget to plan ahead for your furry friends— never leave a pet in an unattended vehicle.

Red Flag Warning and Stage 1 fire restrictions have been implemented for our service area today (Wednesday, June 17) between the hours of 8 AM and midnight. High temperatures, wind, and dry conditions with low humidity create the potential for dangerous fire weather.

Remember to do your part to avoid a spark! Certain types of burning (like open burning, campfires not in permanent fire grates, and bonfires) are prohibited during Stage 1 restrictions. It's a great day to use good judgement and caution with any activity that could produce sparks near dry grasses.

When a wildfire becomes too large, complex or resource-intensive for local agencies to manage effectively, an Incident Management Team (IMT) can be mobilized to manage the fire. IMTs bring the leadership and structure needed to manage the many facets of a large incident.

One of our Captains recently deployed with the Rocky Mountain Complex Incident Management Team 2 (CIMT) as Division Supervisor in the South Fork Fire in northwest Nebraska. This fire started last week due to lightning and quickly grew in size in hot conditions and low humidity. Currently, the fire stands at nearly 40,000 acres with 64% containment and 500 personnel assigned to the fire.

As a Division Supervisor, our officer manages all tactical operations and resources within a defined area of the fire such as hotshot crews, initial attack crews, engines, dozers and tenders. These pictures are from his deployment. We wish responders best of luck as containment continues to grow despite Red Flag Warning conditions! Whether we deploy as a crew, individual resource or with an IMT, our members are proud to serve when called upon.

We'd like to give some major kudos and congratulations to the 26 graduates of our 2026 Youth Fire Academy! This free program gives local youth ages 11-14 a behind-the-scenes look into the fire service.

Over the course of three days, the students got to participate in a variety of hands-on activities. They learned CPR and basic first aid skills, went through the SCBA maze, learned common firefighting knots, and explored different fire apparatus. They also received several demonstrations from our crews covering auto extrication and an EMS response.

On top of these cool activities, the Youth Fire Academy is designed to build confidence and lifelong skills like integrity, teamwork, communications, and problem-solving. Whether they were learning CPR or working through challenge after challenge with their group, students were encouraged to think critically, support each other, and gain a better understanding of what it means to serve their community.

We hope they are inspired to go do great things! Like our EMS Captain Vic Stehle told the academy, "It all starts with a dream!"

Congratulations to the 14 young ladies who recently attended and graduated from Camp Ember! Hosted by Arvada Fire and West Metro Fire Rescue, Camp Ember is a 3-day camp designed to introduce young women ages 16-18 to the world of firefighting.

The camp is made possible by women in the fire service who are looking to give back, develop, and inspire the next generation of women firefighters.

Make no mistake, these girls get after it! They participated in auto extrication, forcibly entry, hydrant operations, advanced search and hose movement, and more. The real magic of the camp is the confidence these girls build, the mentorship they receive, and the inspiration to challenge themselves and pursue their career goals.

Great work, ladies!

At approximately 3:31 p.m. on Wednesday, June 10, Jeffcom 911 received multiple calls about a structure fire in the 7100 block of Dover Way in Arvada. Callers reported hearing a loud bang before seeing smoke and fire from a residence. While responding, Engine 53 reported a large column of black smoke visible from several blocks away.

First-arriving units confirmed a working structure fire with heavy fire involvement in the garage and flames showing from both the Alpha (front) and Charlie (rear) sides of the home. A first alarm response force was on scene and a fire attack in the offensive strategy was initiated. Engine 53 and 51 worked on fire control, while Engine 55 established a water supply and conducted a search with Tower 57.

Firefighters encountered heavy fire, smoke and heat conditions in the garage and first floor of the residence while working in hot weather conditions. Two occupants were home at the time of the fire and self-evacuated. One individual was evaluated on scene. At 3:55 PM, crews declared the fire under control.

Our investigators also responded to the scene to determine the cause and origin of the fire. The investigation is currently ongoing. Thanks to Arvada Police Department, Colorado and West Metro Fire Rescue for their assistance on scene.

Units on scene: BC1, BC52, BUR52, BUR54, BUR55, E51, E53, E55, E56, M54, M55, M57, PIO52, PIO54, PIO55, SAM51, TK54, TK57

Arvada Fire recently donated a reserve fire engine to the Warren Tech Fire Science Program. This 2007 Pierce Contender fire engine served Arvada Fire as a frontline apparatus for 10 years and as a reserve for nearly another 10 years.

Following our apparatus replacement plan, this pumper was at the end of its useful life for the fire district. However, we knew it could be repurposed to serve a new role, and we saw none better than providing educational and developmental opportunities for aspiring firefighters in Warren Tech's program.

Our fleet team handed the keys over to Warren Tech last week. We're proud of our partnership with them and are always looking for ways to support the next generation of firefighters and fire service professionals.
