Kremmling Fire Department is a volunteer fire and rescue agency servicing 360 square-miles, of which 136 square-miles comprise the Kremmling Fire Protection District.

After this initial training the members train two nights a month in addition to a business meeting that takes place once a month. Additional training is also available on selected weekends as well as outside classes and seminars during the year.



Volunteers are expected to complete a minimum of 36 hours of training per year (to qualify for pension). Twenty-two trainings are scheduled annually, plus recruits conduct monthly maintenance on equipment and are expected to be dedicated and professional with a desire to be part of a team.

New recruits will be required to complete an “extensive” check-off list of job performance tasks in order to become line firefighters.
