We are excited to announce Stuart Sunderland as our new Fire Chief. Chief Sunderland, a native of Colorado, has been in the Fire Department for over 30 years. Among his many accomplishments, Chief Sunderland was instrumental in ACFR becoming an Internationally Accredited ISO Class I Fire Department, one of just a handful of departments to achieve this accomplishment in Colorado. We are excited to see what the future brings with Chief Sunderland!
Firefighters have long been known to be great cooks. Because these men and women spend many meals together, cooking is taken seriously! We here at ACFR have multiple men and women who are amazing in the kitchen. We realize a lot of people are spending more time at home these days, so we thought we would start up a cooking series hosted by our firefighters. Fire Medic Charlie Koyle kicks things off with his version of Eggs in Purgatory.

Crews responded to a roll over accident tonight at East bound I-76 east of Pecos. One party was transported to a hospital. We would like to thank all the courteous drivers for giving us an extra lane and moving over!
Crews responded to a structure fire call this morning at 6:25am. A camper behind a home was on fire upon arrival. Fire is out, and Fire Investigations is on scene. Cause is unknown as of now. @AdamsCoSheriff on scene as well.
Crews have been on scene of a single vehicle roll over at I-25 southbound at Hwy 36. Crews extricated two parties. One has been transported to the hospital, the other is DOA. The scene is now stable.
In the next phase of the hiring process, we held the new hire ladder climb as well as an SCBA drill at our training center. In this drill, our potential firefighters had to make their way around a room just on a hose line and in black out conditions.
Ah, all the twists and curls in that hose. Hope you're not claustropohobic.

You guys are the best 🚒🚑 and thanks to the drivers for doing the right thing 👍
Good job crew, and the best to those who stayed out of the road.
Our crews have been running multiple calls tonight involving illegal burns and grass and weed fires caused by illegal fireworks. This particular call was in the front yard of a home on Raritan Street.
Thank you, ACFR crews!!🇺🇸❤🎉
Vacation was nice!
E12 wishing our community a Happy Forth of July with a visit to White Rock Mobile Home Park. The crew also passed out stickers to residents.
If you would like to watch a professional fireworks show this 4th of July, here is an updated list of where you can go. Rather than setting off fireworks on your own, seeing a show a much safer way of celebrating the holiday! And a final reminder, all fireworks that leave the ground or explode are illegal, and punishable by up to a $1,000 fine. That's a lot of money...
