Remembering the Marshall Fire

On December 30, 2021, Colorado experienced the most destructive fire in the state's history, destroying more than 1,000 homes and taking the lives of two residents. Typically, we wouldn’t tell a story about an incident occurring in another agency’s jurisdiction because it’s their story to tell, not ours. However, given the significant impact the Marshall Fire had on our fire district that day and the vast amount of resources we dedicated to supporting our neighbors and protecting our own community, we wanted to capture the experiences of our firefighters in their own words. We were only one of many fire departments assisting on the Marshall Fire, and these are just a handful of accounts from that day. As with any large-scale event, there were numerous lessons learned both during the fire and in the days and months that followed. We’ve taken those lessons and are using them to continually improve our operations during large-scale fires and other disasters. In partnership with the cities we serve and with our residents, we are working to build a more resilient community.
