POUDRE CANYON VOLUNTEER FIRE/EMS
Watching out for the people who live and play in the Poudre Canyon
In 1959 a group of Poudre Canyon residents saw a need
for a fire department in the canyon and started a petition.
The petition, signed by 84 residents, asked the District Court
to establish the Poudre Canyon Fire Protection District.
On May 13, 1959 a District Judge signed the decree and thus
the District was born. A Fire Board was established to oversee
the fire department and they immediately started work to outfit
three fire stations with equipment and firefighters.
The stations are located in
Poudre Park (Station 1)
Poudre City (Station 2)
Kinnikinick (Station 3)
In 1991 the District boundaries were expanded and a fourth station
was added on County Road 68C (Station 4). The EMS division was added
to the District in 1992 with the help of grant funding from the State of
Colorado. Our two ambulances are posted at the fire stations
in Poudre Park (Station 1) and Poudre City (Station 2).
