We want to extend a HUGE thank you to our community partners!

Florence Fire Protection District is incredibly grateful for the generosity of Elizabeth Fire Rescue, Florence Ace Hardware, Brandee’s Bites, and our local community. Together, their support has allowed us to purchase six new wildland packs and fire shelters to help keep our firefighters safe while working on wildland incidents.

Elizabeth Fire Rescue awarded FFPD a $5,000 grant toward the purchase of this essential safety equipment.

Florence Ace Hardware and Brandee’s Bites donated a total of $1,000 through their Local Heroes campaign. During the campaign, customers were invited to round up their purchases, with the money raised benefiting local first responders. The funds were shared between FFPD and Wetmore Volunteer Fire Department.

These donations represent more than new equipment, they represent a community that supports the people who answer the call when they’re needed.

To Elizabeth Fire Rescue, Florence Ace Hardware, Brandee’s Bites, and every community member who rounded up their purchase: thank you for investing in the safety of our firefighters. We are incredibly grateful for your support!

Great news! As of 10:00am 8/18/26, the Florence Fire Protection District has moved from a stage two to a stage one fire ban! This is due to the recent favorable weather conditions the district has received.

This, however, does NOT mean the dangerous fire conditions are gone. There are still numerous fires burning throughout the western United States and resources to fight these fires are limited. The district is still in a drought with water restrictions in place, therefore, we urge residents to follow the burning regulations to help reduce the risk of fires. These restrictions are the same as Bureau of Land Management and Fremont County.

Still have questions? View the photo below to see what is and is not allowed during a stage one fire ban.

Your crews at work: This morning (8/10/26), the FFPD responded to a fire south of Rockvale. The fire, which was contained to a single tree, was caused by a lightning strike yesterday evening. The fire is out at this time.
