Extra, extra! 10 additional firefighters, 3 wildland fire engines and 1 supervisor are in service to protect the south metro area until midnight, or later if needed. Even more up-staffing is planned for July 4th. Please don’t use fireworks and help us prevent fires.

South Metro Brush Engine 41 moved to Division Echo and is fighting the head of the #PineGulchFire , now the 2nd largest fire in Colorado history. This SMFR Wildland Team is seeing extreme fire behavior while supporting burnout operations.

20 years ago Littleton Firefighters were among the first emergency responders to arrive at Columbine High School. Now as South Metro Firefighters they stand with our community in remembrance. #NeverForget #Columbine

This helmet cam video was captured just after 5 p.m. when SMFR responded to a dog rescue in a golf course pond at 8500 Lone Tree Pkwy. A firefighter wearing a drysuit and tethered to his crew on shore broke through the ice and quickly brought the uninjured yellow lab to safety.

Congratulations to Lieutenant Mike Butterfield who celebrated his last shift on Tuesday! We can’t count the number of lives he touched over his 34-year career, but we can look back at one rescue from 30 years ago that made national news.
