The countdown to the holidays is on!
It’s the time of year we all get together to celebrate with friends and family. And the time of year that our crews see an increase in emergency calls.
Enjoy the season and stay safe this year with these tips from West Metro Captain Dan Wenger:

May is Wildfire Awareness Month. And this Saturday is Community Wildfire Preparedness Day. Take action to protect your family, home, and community from wildfire. Protect what you love- live wildfire ready.

In Colorado, we know that there is no real "season" for wildfire- it can happen at any time. Case in point- this week- when we had 3 days of Red Flag Warnings. Here's a quick look at what our crews are brushing up on this month- building fire line, progressive hose lay, and fire shelter deployment.

It’s Daylight Saving Time! We “spring forward” early tomorrow morning. What does that mean, and what safety precautions can you take? Take the quiz! #westmetrofirerescue #DaylightSavingTime

Recruit class 25-01 is a little over a month into their academy training. The lesson this week: fire behavior. First, they built three small structures, based on construction methods seen in neighborhoods in our district. Then, they burned them down.
