Fire Equipment Shop
The Fire Equipment Shop is the backbone of the division's vehicle and equipment operations, ensuring that the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention & Control is always ready to respond. Our team of skilled mechanics and welders maintain, repair, and fabricate the specialized vehicles essential for wildland firefighting, fire prevention, and incident management.
Our Work
- Vehicle Maintenance & Customization: Our mechanics keep the DFPC's fleet of vehicles in top condition, from wildland fire trucks to specialized K9 units used by arson investigators. We ensure every vehicle is fire-ready and custom-fit with the necessary accessories for its mission.
- Fabricating Fire Engines: We build cost-effective fire engines for rural and wildland firefighting through the Federal Excess Property Program (FEPP). These resourceful engines are built from decommissioned military vehicles and other federal excess equipment, transforming reclaimed chassis into versatile, operations-ready fire apparatus that are vital for rural fire departments across the state.
- Heavy Equipment Transport: Our dedicated heavy equipment operators handle the transportation and hauling of large vehicles and equipment, a crucial service that helps the department reduce costs by coordinating with other state and federal agencies for resources.
