🚨 Apparatus Status Update 🚨

The Florissant Fire Protection District currently has several apparatus undergoing repair and maintenance.

Engine 53 and Tender 53 are currently in the shop for repairs and are temporarily out of service. During this time, response coverage will continue through the district’s remaining available resources and mutual aid partnerships.

Tender 51 is also currently operating with limited capability due to a pump issue. While it remains available to transport water, it is unable to perform fire suppression operations until repairs are completed.

Maintaining and repairing emergency response equipment is an ongoing part of providing service across the district. District staff continue to monitor apparatus availability and work to return these units to service as quickly as possible.

For those interested in learning more about district operations, current projects, and future planning efforts, a public community work session will be held on June 10 at 6:00 p.m.

We appreciate the continued support of our community.

The Pikes National Forrest has ended fire restrictions, for now. Teller County is still at a Stage 2 Burn Ban.

Due to recent moisture, conditions have improved enough to lift the stage 1 fire restrictions order, effective May 28, 2026, at 12:01 a.m.

That’s not a short term issue, it’s a long term math problem that needs solved.

Fire Chief John Buchan and the fire board breaks down why the traditional model no longer matches today’s fire service reality.

Find out how you can help our volunteers.
