Golden Volunteer Firefighter Open House This Weekend

GOLDEN, CO – Have you always harbored childhood dreams of becoming a firefighter? Now's your chance, Golden Resident, to see if those dreams are a possibility.

The Golden Fire Department is seeking men and women (who live in town) who want to become part of the Golden Volunteer Fire team. An open house will be held Sunday, Sep. 9 from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Fire Station 24, 151 Heritage Rd.

Snacks and refreshments will be offered. A second open house will be held Sunday, September 30 at Fire Station 21, 911 10th Street.

The department said the learning opportunities are endless:

By joining the GFD, you learn much more than how to put out fires. You will learn medical rescue techniques, high angle rescue, swift water and ice rescue, how to save people from car crashes, and much more. You will be helping your neighbors, friends and fellow residents in one of the most long-standing and honorable ways possible for Golden volunteers.

For more information, please contact Capt. Jeanette Kehoe at 303-215-8888.
