Last night, we successfully placed our new Pierce Engine into service. This engine was procured by our rural board to serve as the primary frontline engine for our rural fire protection district, replacing our 1986 Pierce Engine. This was a stock engine purchased through Pierce Manufacturing and Front Range Fire Apparatus. We would like to extend our gratitude to our Rural Fire Protection Board for their proactive approach to this acquisition, ensuring that the citizens within their district have access to the best available equipment to serve their needs.

🔥🚒🚑🚔🔥
What an awesome day of training at Station 2! Our firefighters had the opportunity to take part in a hands-on vehicle extrication training that was put on by the Morgan Community College EMT class, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish.

Training like this is absolutely vital to making sure our firefighters and first responders are ready when real emergencies happen and every second counts. From tool work to patient access and scene coordination, this was a great chance to sharpen our skills and strengthen teamwork.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out and made this training such a success! The EMT students, Dr. Fargus, nursing students, radiology students, Morgan County Ambulance Service (MCAS), and Log Lane Village PD. It was great working side by side with so many dedicated future and current professionals.
Strong partnerships and realistic training make our community safer, and we’re proud to continue learning and growing together. Great work by everyone involved!💪

🚨🔥Hay Stack Fire🔥 🚨
The Fire Department is aware of the haystack fire located south-west of town in the 15000 block of County Road O.

Crews responded to the area earlier and addressed the situation. At this time, the fire may continue to smolder, and residents may see and smell smoke coming from that area over the next couple of days.This is expected, and there is no current cause for concern.

There is no current threat to the community. We appreciate your awareness!!🚒

As a reminder all fire agencies throughout Morgan County will be on alert and will respond to Grass Fires as one Mutal Response! Let’s work together to prevent unnecessary emergencies and keep our community safe.
Thank you for doing your part. Stay safe.
