Wildland Fire Team Training

On July 26th, 2021 the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Wildland Fire Team conducted training at the Richmil Ranch Open Space near Deer Trail. Firefighters conducted engine familiarization, pump operations and practiced quelling simulated wildland fires. ACSO has 19 wildland firefighters under the Office of Emergency Management, three type 6 engines, one 3000 gallon tender and two ATVs. In Colorado, the sheriff is responsible for extinguishing wildland fires on private and state lands within the county. The team responds to fires in the unincorporated areas of the county which are not under the jurisdiction of another department and assists other departments when needed.
