IMAGES OF JEFFERSON-COMO FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT ON CALL

Jefferson-Como Fire Protection District encounters many different types of emergencies.  The photos below represent images of some of those situations.  Unfortunately, JCFPD does not have a full time photographer so we do not have images of all of the calls answered by JCFPD.  Occasionally there is a camera on scene and someone will have the time to take a photo.  When we have suitable images we will show them on this page.

This page will show photographic images of some of the scenes encountered by the Fire District personnel in response to 911 calls.    If you have a photo that you have taken of an emergency scene within the JCFPD or of work performed by JCFPD that you would like to see posted on this page, follow this link for instructions.  How To Submit An Image For Consideration

Winter conditions,  ground blizzards, snow and ice pack always bring hazardous conditions to Highway 285 and the other roads of JCFPD.   Pictures are indeed worth a thousand words.  One look at the photos below will fully explain the need for cautious driving in our area when hazardous weather conditions prevail.  Perhaps the photos will also quickly explain why extradition training is so important.

On February 18, 2005, JCFPD conducted a burn at the Indian Mountain/Stagestop/Buffalo Burn Pit.  A lot of flammable material from the homeowner's fire mitigation efforts is eliminated in this manner providing a valuable service to the homeowner's of the area.  Below are several images taken during the burn.

Chief Bargas and Lieutenant Kell are out of the Chief's vehicle on Highway 285 dealing with one roll over and one slide off .  (Yes, the wind was blowing snow across the highway again creating a long stretch of hazardous icy road.)

Sunday June 9, 2002 12:41 pm Hayman Fire Smoke from Indian Mountain Subdivision looking East.  This photo was taken only a little over 24 hours after the fire was started. The Hayman Fire was an arson fire started in a campfire on the morning of June 6, 2002.  The fire became the largest wildland fire in Colorado history lasting over 3 weekends.

Several JCFPD firefighters were part of the huge force of firefighters that worked on the Hayman Fire.  JCFPD had many discussions on how to best protect our JCFPD residents should the fire come directly  into our area.  In the end our District was blessed by the winds that blew the fire almost exclusively in a direction away from us.
