FIRE AND EMERGENCY OPERATIONS
From the City's ten Fire Stations, operational personnel respond to over 14,000 emergency calls per year, utilizing nine Advanced Life Support (ALS) engines, one Basic Life Support (BLS) engine, a Truck/Ladder Company, Heavy Rescue Squad, and Airport Crash Unit.

SPECIAL OPERATIONS
The Pueblo Fire Department has kept pace with the ever-increasing challenges that face a modern day fire service through its own Special Operations Members. This team of highly trained firefighters responds to calls that the average trained firefighter is unable to handle. These members are specially trained in the disciplines of Hazardous Materials, Rope/High Angle Rescue, Swift Water Rescue, Confined Space Rescue, and Trench Rescue. They also respond regionally under countywide mutual aide agreements to successfully handle emergencies requiring their special talents.

TRAINING
The Training Division develops programs designed to maintain and upgrade the skills of Fire personnel. The Training Division also provides medical training to the firefighters and Emergency Medical Officer's, assuring they keep abreast of the latest skills and education required for continuing certification. Through its comprehensive programs, the Training Division provides over 31,000 hours of training per year to each of our members.

FIRE PREVENTION
The Fire Prevention Division is an integral part of the Pueblo Fire Department. Their role is to conduct fire safety inspections on all commercial properties in the city and provide both plan review and compliance inspections for all new buildings constructed within the community. Public education is also a major concern of the Department’s Fire Life Safety and Operations personnel. Each October during Fire Prevention Week, Pueblo Fire reaches out to thousands of local children to provide fire safety messages. This program helps protect our community’s youngsters by teaching them what to do in the event of an emergency. Annually, we make contact with over 14,000 residents.

The Bureau also conducts investigations into the fires that occur within the City. Determining the origin and cause of a fire plays a prime role in preventing future incidents. Bureau Fire Investigator personnel remain "on-call" 24 hours a day to respond to fire incidents.

ADMINISTRATION
The goal of the Division is to assure that the men and women of the Department have the leadership, training, and materials necessary to provide the citizens of Pueblo the best possible fire protection and emergency medical services

Under the direction of the Fire Chief, the Administrative Division supports the Department’s primary mission of protecting life and property. This includes planning and logistical support for the Department’s operational personnel, as well as sound fiscal management to assure that long-term needs are addressed.
