Rist Canyon Volunteer Fire Department – 2009 Profile
In 1975 a group of dedicated residents in Rist Canyon joined forces to create Rist Canyon Volunteer Fire Department.
Thirty Four Years Later ….we thank them for their vision and foresight – a vision that has lasted, evolved and grown with our community. What they started with hard work, donated equipment and their own personal signatures guaranteeing a loan to build RCVFD Station 1 has grown today into a well funded (still not a tax district), dynamic and effective fire department that provides EMS and Fire Protection in an enlarged area.
Today, Rist Canyon Volunteer Fire Department is a group of dedicated individuals and community supporters who work together to provide fire and emergency medical response in a 105 square mile area north west of Fort Collins.
