The week of October 14th, 2024 Arvada Fire Protection District with Fairmount Fire Protection District held multi-company drills at the Arvada Fire Training Center. Both agencies’ crews rotated through the week for some valuable fire training time with various scenarios before making entry inside the building, firefighters were presented with a mock reading from a Thermal Imaging Camera (TIC). Hollywood smoke was used to reduce visibility and a propane-fueled heat source adds temperature inside. These training features help emulate some of the conditions firefighters would feel and see inside a real structure fire. 5280Fire photographers were able to get photos of the training on October 19th, 2024 during their annual meeting. The training also helps with both department prepare for the upcoming proposed merger, with Fairmount Fire Protection District consolidating into the Arvada Fire Protection District. The ballot questions will be held this November of 2024 elections. For additional information about the proposal, go here: Fairmount Fire / Arvada Fire Consolidation.
