On September 6, 2025 the Rist Canyon Volunteer Fire Department invited the community to the annual Rist Canyon Mountain Festival. This event is a large fundraiser for the department with vendors, live music and other public safety agencies. The Rist Canyon Volunteer Fire Chief shared how proud he was of the ability to be frugal with the funds provided to the department from the community and through grants. The Chief noted several new Scott SCBA air packs, FLIR Thermal Cameras and a car fire blanket to be utilized on electric vehicle fires were all added with the help of grants. The department showcased its equipment, advertising an average cost for each piece of personal protective equipment worn by firefighters, providing an insight to just how much funding is needed to keep the department functional. Engine 613 was available for children to learn how to put out a fire, with the help of volunteers, spraying water at the base of a fire from a firehose. Larimer County Sheriffs Office, Larimer County Sheriffs Office Emergency Services and Larimer County Dive Rescue were also present for the event.
