Thornton Fire is deploying one person with FEMA Colorado Task Force 1 (CO-TF1) as part of a 16-member swiftwater and flood rescue team to southeast Colorado. Thornton Fire represents 1 of 23 fire agencies across Colorado’s Front Range.

Colorado Task Force 1 Activation:
Colorado Task Force 1 (CO-TF1) is being activated in response to historic flooding across southern and southwestern Colorado. The task force is deploying a 17-member swiftwater and flood rescue team, with mobilization beginning at 5 a.m. Monday.
CO-TF1 brings specialized search and rescue personnel and equipment to support local emergency responders, including the ability to search for and rescue people trapped or stranded by flooding.
The flooding emergency extends across multiple Colorado counties, with dangerous conditions expected to continue. The San Juan River at Pagosa Springs could crest at approximately 22 feet, potentially exceeding the historic flood level recorded in 1911. CO-TF1 also responded to the devastating northern Colorado floods in September 2013. Task force members represent 23 fire agencies across Colorado’s Front Range.

🔋 DON’T TRASH IT—RECYCLE IT! ♻️
As we wrap up our lithium-ion battery safety campaign, we want to leave you with one final, important reminder: Lithium-ion batteries NEVER belong in your household trash or curbside recycling bin!

When damaged or improperly disposed of, these batteries can overheat, catch fire, and put sanitation workers, recycling facilities, and our community at risk. 🚒🔥

✅ The safe solution? Recycle them properly!
Lithium-ion batteries are commonly found in cell phones, laptops, power tools, rechargeable toys, and many other everyday devices.

📍 Visit www.call2recycle.org to find a battery recycling drop-off location near you and learn how to prepare your batteries for safe recycling.
Remember: When you’re done using it, don’t toss it—recycle it!

Thank you for following along with our lithium-ion battery safety campaign and helping us keep Thornton safe!
