RED CREEK VOLUNTEER FIRE & RESCUE

Red Creek Volunteer Fire & Rescue

Red Creek Volunteer Fire and Rescue (RCVF&R) was founded in 1996 on the principle of "neighbors helping neighbors." RCVF&R has since operated on a volunteer basis without state, county or local tax funding.

The department serves a 107 square mile rural coverage area which encompasses more than 300 properties, homes and businesses and an estimated population of over 600. RCVF&R now also has mutual aid agreements and procedures set in place which include many surrounding areas including Wetmore, Beulah, Pueblo, Custer and Freemont counties.

At its inception, the department developed in a grassroots manner. Originally volunteers responded through a "phone tree system" with their personal vehicles and a few fire extinguishers, as their only equipment. In 2003, a three bay fire station was completed and equipped with older model fire trucks, all of which were donated.

Since then our department has evolved, we have added another truck bay to the station, newer trucks have been donated, we have fully integrated with Pueblo County Emergency Services dispatch systems with radio and text and obtain training and certification through collaborations with other departments and agencies.
