The Southern Colorado (SOCO) Interagency Wildland Team was established in 2022 to focus on efficient wildfire response. The SOCO IWT was formed by a group of 6 fire departments surrounding Colorado Springs. The team consists of volunteer firefighters from each of the 6 departments and will be staffing additional units to cover wildland calls in shorter amount of time.
