Colorado River Fire Rescue was established as a Fire Authority on September 26, 2012 as a joint effort between Burning Mountains Fire Protection District and Rifle Fire Protection District to provide better service to our communities while avoiding additional costs.
Colorado River Fire Rescue provides Fire, EMS, Hazardous Materials and Rescue response for the Town of New Castle, the Town of Silt, the City of Rifle and surrounding areas with a total response area of approximately 851 square miles. Colorado River Fire Rescue is a combination fire authority utilizing Volunteer, Part Time and Full Time staffing. The Fire Authority maintains seven stations: four staffed stations, one station staffed through an ongoing partnership by Interagency Wild Land Firefighters, one unstaffed station, and one station used for fleet maintenance.
We are dedicated to protecting life, home, and property through leadership, education and partnerships. Safety is our highest priority.
