Applications close today, Monday, June 1st.

Choosing a new fire department is not an easy decision. It’s more than accepting a job. It’s choosing the people you’ll work beside, the culture you’ll be part of, and the community you’ll serve.

At Brighton Fire Rescue, we’re looking for lateral firefighter-paramedics and firefighter-EMTs who want to be part of something bigger than themselves. We take pride in serving our community, investing in our people, and building a department where professionalism, teamwork, and service still matter.

If you’re the right fit for Brighton Fire, it won’t just be a career move. It will be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make.

Brighton Fire Rescue crews recently trained alongside the North Area Technical Rescue Team (NATRT) at North Metro Fire Rescue District's Training Center during a confined space rescue training day.

The training included a realistic scenario involving a child who crawled into a drainage culvert and became trapped, requiring crews to assess hazards, establish a rescue plan, and safely remove the patient from the confined space. Firefighters also participated in a vertical rigging skills lab focused on rope systems, patient packaging, and technical rescue operations.

Training like this strengthens regional partnerships and ensures crews are prepared for low-frequency, high-risk emergencies requiring specialized rescue skills.

Today, Brighton Fire Rescue honors and remembers the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.

Memorial Day is more than the start of summer. It is a time to reflect on the courage, selflessness, and dedication of those who gave their lives defending the freedoms we enjoy every day.

We extend our gratitude to the families who carry the weight of that sacrifice and to all who continue to serve our country.

Please join us in taking a moment to remember and honor our fallen heroes.

Yesterday at 2:43 p.m., Brighton Fire Rescue and South Adams County Fire Department responded to a serious motor vehicle accident near East 120th Avenue and Harvest Road involving a head-on collision between two pickup trucks.

Crews arrived to find both vehicles with heavy damage. The driver of the first pickup truck was pronounced deceased at the scene. Firefighters extricated the passenger from the vehicle, who was flown by HCA HealthONE AirLife to a trauma center in critical condition.

Three occupants were inside the second pickup truck. The two front-seat passengers were able to self-extricate prior to crews’ arrival. Firefighters extricated the rear-seat passenger, who was also in critical condition. All three were transported to local hospitals.

All patients are currently stable and doing well.

Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this tragic incident.

Thank you to Colorado State Patrol for their assistance on scene, and they are investigating the cause of the accident.
