Jefferson County Multi-Agency Wildland Training 2022
Wildland Training Exercise
Genesee Fire Rescue participated in a multiagency wildland fire training exercise on April 2nd, 2022. Approximately 70 firefighters from several agencies participated in a mock 50-acre wildfire in a meadow off Foothills Drive North. Crews worked on making fire lines, checking for spot fires and ensuring that the fires were out. The exercise allowed firefighters to familiarize themselves with various tools and practice working together in large groups from different agencies. Denver Mountain Parks, Fairmount Fire Protection District, Highland Rescue Team, Indian Hills Fire Rescue and the Golden Fire Department also participated in the training.
