One week from today Poudre Fire Authority will join members from the community to complete a stair climb in remembrance of the tragic events that unfolded on 9/11 in 2001. We will be joining together to honor those who gave their all that day in service, the civilians who lost their lives, and everyone who has been lost in the 25 years since that day. We invite you to come join us as we climb in memory of all we have lost. This event is open to the public and there is no fee or registration to participate. Special event t-shirts will be available at the climb and all proceeds will go to support the 1945 Foundation. This foundation provides support to Poudre Fire Authority firefighters and their families in time of need.
The 9/11 Stair Climb will take place at Canvas Stadium. Doors open at 5:00 pm with an opening ceremony at 6:00 pm and the stair climb commencing at 6:15 pm.

Yesterday, Poudre Fire Authority proudly graduated 12 new firefighters from our Fire Academy.
Each of these firefighters began their academy journey on April 27, and over the past several months, they have worked hard to build the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to serve our community.
Throughout the academy, they earned their firefighter and hazardous materials operations certifications, strengthened their EMS skills, and trained across the wide range of emergency services PFA provides—from wildland firefighting and technical rescue to water rescue, firefighter safety and survival, and much more.
But the academy is about more than learning skills. It is about becoming part of a profession built on teamwork, sacrifice, compassion, and service.
These 12 firefighters have demonstrated that commitment every day and have embraced PFA’s belief in “Service Above Self.”
Today marks an important milestone: their first day responding to 911 calls and serving the residents and visitors of our community.
We are incredibly proud of each of them and excited to watch their careers unfold. Congratulations to our newest PFA firefighters—we are proud to have you on the team, and we look forward to the years of service ahead.
Welcome to Poudre Fire Authority, Class 26-1!

We are very thankful that tonight's horse rescue ended so well. We wish Charm the best and are thankful she is healthy and safe! We are very appreciative of our partnership with UCH and their support on this call as well as the response from Dr. Landes. Our crews train with large animal veterinarians so that during calls like this one everyone knows the plan and are used to working together. We also wish to thank the vets from CSU that were on scene providing care for Charm.

As the recruits of class 26-1 near graduation they spent their Friday experiencing a day full of mock 911 calls. Their day started with a workout involving carrying logs and flipping tires with a run. Following that they ran ten mock 911 calls ranging from medical emergencies, motor vehicle crashes involving extrication, to a variety of fires including vehicle and building fires. They prepared dinner as they will in their stations and then ended their day with two live fire night incidents. We are very proud of all they have accomplished and are looking forward to celebrating their graduation with them on Wednesday and watching them as they grow throughout their career.

🔥 Exploring the Fire Service!

Poudre Fire Authority recently joined other area agencies for a hands-on demonstration with 32 high school-aged students who are apart of the Fire/EMS Xplore Academy at the Aims Community College Windsor Campus.

During the event, students had the opportunity to get an up-close look at fire service operations, including a tour of the aerial apparatus on one of our tower trucks. Explorers were provided with safety gear so they could actively participate in the demonstration and experience a small piece of what working in the fire service looks like.

Lieutenant Kokias and Engineer Evans represented PFA during the training, sharing their knowledge, answering questions, and helping introduce the next generation to the fire service.

Thank you to Aims Community College and the other participating agencies, including Loveland Fire Rescue Authority, for helping create an engaging opportunity for students interested in public safety careers.

Hands-on experiences like these help turn curiosity into career pathways — and we’re always excited to meet future members of the fire service!
