Southwest Adams County Fire Rescue has become the recipient of several sets of oxygen masks for dogs, cats, and other pets. They were donated to our department, as well as other metro departments, by the Best Friends Pet Care "Cause for Paws" program.
The mask sets, which cost $50 each, have three different sized masks for dogs and cats. Currently, fire departments are ill-equipped to treat pets that are victims of smoke exposure secondary to structure fires. Last year, over 40,000 pets died in home fires across the United States.

For the second straight year, Southwest Adams County Fire Rescue has been the recipient of a general dividend from its worker compensation insurer, Pinnacol Assurance. The program, which was instituted in 2005, rewards policy holders that maintain a safe working environment, have good safety records, and have low claims costs. The department was one of only a few fire departments that have received this honor each year.

2006
The Southwest Adams County Fire Protection District recently received a new ISO rating of 3!  This could not have been accomplished without the support of the voters of the district and the hard work of the department's staff and firefighters.  This new rating will result in lower insurance costs to both residents and business owners of the district.
