Cheyenne Fire Rescue

A big night for CFR! Our Honor Guard joined forces with Arvada Fire to present the colors at the Colorado Avalanche game. An unforgettable experience and an honor to stand together on the ice. Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this moment happen!

💙 Working Together for Laramie County

As we observe National Su***de Prevention Awareness Month this September, we are reminded that preventing su***de takes a community, and no single agency does it alone. For the past five years, the Laramie County Su***de Fatality Review Team (SFRT)—a confidential, multi-agency group of local professionals—has met quarterly to better understand how we can protect and support our community.

By looking closely at local trends, improving data accuracy, and identifying unique risk and protective factors, the SFRT helps local organizations:

Identify circumstances to inform future prevention efforts

Address system and community factors impacting su***de risk

Build stronger, cooperative protocols among agencies

Recommend impactful local policies, practices, and resources

Cheyenne Fire Rescue is proud to be an active participant, bringing the perspectives of first-response EMS, Community EMS, and Peer Support to the table. Alongside local healthcare providers, behavioral health experts, law enforcement, American Medical Response, veterans' organizations, and other dedicated partners, we are working to bridge gaps in services and create earlier opportunities for intervention.

By turning shared local insights into meaningful action, we strive to protect the people of Laramie County and let no one feel alone.

📞 Need Support? If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health or su***de-related crisis, help is always available. Call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.

A huge thank you to Little Monkeys for having Cheyenne Fire Rescue out to show gear, demonstrate the truck, and let the kiddos spray water.

We’re also incredibly grateful that our Prevention team could teach your staff fire extinguisher training — we appreciate all you do and enjoyed every second.

A big shoutout to Engine 5 for bringing the truck and educating all the kids.

Today, our stations received an incredible surprise in honor of 9/11 — food, snacks, and heartfelt hand‑colored thank‑you notes.
A huge thank you to Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC and Trent & Asha Vonburg for thinking of our firefighters and EMS crews today. Your generosity and support mean so much to us, especially on a day of remembrance and reflection.
We honor the sacrifices made on September 11th, and we’re grateful for a community that continues to stand with its first responders.

Wildland 1 has been on the line with the initial attack near Abilene, TX, supporting crews on both the Shotgun Fire and Bright Light Fire. Over the past four days, firefighters have pushed through suppression, structure protection, firing operations, and mop‑up to get these incidents under control. Cheyenne Fire Rescue wildland team members have been working alongside a strong interagency task force: bulldozers and motor graders from the Texas A&M Forest Service, an engine from Yoder, WY, a water tender from Chaffee County, CO, and a strike team of engines from Utah.

A lot of teamwork. A lot of grit. A lot of good work being done.

Cheyenne Fire Rescue Responds to Residential Structure Fire, Saved Two Cats

On September 4, CFR responded to a residential structure fire on Oak Ct in Cheyenne. Crews arrived to find heavy smoke coming from a single-story residence and quickly determined the fire was in the basement.

Engine 4 rapidly entered the home with a fire hose while additional crews established water supply, conducted searches and ventilation, and rapid intervention support. The fire was quickly extinguished, and primary searches were completed.

Two cats were located inside and successfully rescued by firefighters. AMR provided oxygen and rehabilitation before the cats were reunited with their family.

No injuries were reported. The American Red Cross is assisting the family due to fire damage to the residence. The cause of the fire remains under investigation by Cheyenne Fire Rescue Fire Marshal personnel.

We appreciate the assistance of AMR, American Red Cross, and Black Hills Energy.
