This year colo Fire Rescue is having an open house for FPW 2024. We have big plans and hope you can join us on Sunday October 6th 2024 at 1pm till 4pm at the Fire Station. We will have activities for the kids as well as the adults this year. New this year we will have fire safety educational opportunities for the adults including escape planning, fire alarms, first aid, fire extinguishers, and hands only CPR. We will have staff on hand to entertain the kids with Fire truck rides coloring tatoos bounce house and more so you can concentrate on learning. This will be a free activity for the whole family.
Our other big announcement is our first ever Citizens Academy. This will be a one day intensive look at “a day in the life of a firefighter”. If your one of the first 10 people to sign up you will experience what it is like to be a firefighter. You will start your day being fitted for fire gear so you will be able to participate in the hands on portion of the day including handling a fire hose, using the extrication tools, using an air pack doing search and rescue in our training center and more. You will also learn basic first aid, Hands only CPR, and Stop the Bleed. If you have ever wondered if being a part of the fire / EMS service is for you this is a opportunity to check it out and see. We will be taking applications during our open house on the 6th October till all spots are filled. if you can’t make the event but would like to sign up we will have an online signup opening up on the 6th as well.
