Proudly serving the City of Victor and surrounding area with volunteer fire protection, emergency response, and community support since 1894.

The Victor Volunteer Fire Department has served with pride since 1894. The Fire Chief is appointed by City Council and is responsible for the training of volunteer firefighters and maintenance of all City fire equipment and facilities. The City has a team of dedicated volunteers of between 12 and 20 members. These volunteers take time from their personal lives to insure the protection of the lives and property of Victor citizens. This department is funded with your tax dollars and, in addition, this dedicated group of men and women conduct numerous fundraisers throughout the year to acquire equipment to enhance the safety of their members. The mission of the Victor Volunteer Fire Department is to maintain a highly trained, professional organization providing excellent service to our community, region and other agencies, when called upon, through Duty Honor & Respect.

Victor Fire responded as mutual aid to Cripple Creek to assist Cripple Creek Fire and Four Mile Fire Protection District with a small fire located southeast of Cripple Creek.

We are happy to be able to help our neighboring departments and reciprocate the help they have given us over the years.

Remember that a fire can start anywhere, so be careful in all your activities.

Thanks to Teller County Sheriff's Office deputies and dispatch as always for their assistance today and every day.

I would like to take a minute to brag on ourselves.

A year ago we had 3 active members. Today we have 11 members with 9 in the area and 5 living in town.

The Chief and I cannot thank those that have signed up and answer the call day or night enough.

I am proud to be able to tell people about our town, our department, and our members.

It is better to have too much help than too little because you never know the actual nature of the call until you arrive. Easy to send folks back to the station, harder to get folks to the scene when you don’t have enough.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for that you do for our community and to those who might want to join, stop by city hall, message this page, message me, or come by the station.

Also come see us on Halloween for candy!

Victor Fire has responded to 3 medical calls in the last week. As always we are proud to be able to help our neighbors no matter the reason for the call.

Please know that we are here for you 24/7 along with our partners at Southwest Teller County EMS. Never hesitate to call and never feel silly about calling, we would rather find it to be nothing and have you decline transport than to have something more dangerous occur.

Thanks as always to Teller County Sheriff's Office for their help in person and in dispatch. We couldn’t do our job without dispatch.

Also a huge shoutout to our new members for showing up both at training and at calls. Your help is hugely appreciated.

If you are interested in joining stop by city hall or message this page. We’ll see you out there.

Thanks to our partners at UCHealth LifeLine for the LZ training.

When a call is critical, seconds matter and training on how the process works ensures that when it counts we are ready.

Thanks to our partners at Teller County Sheriff's Office for their assistance as well both on the ground and in dispatch as always.

If you are interested in joining feel free to reach out or stop by city hall and leave your information.

Thanks to all of our volunteers for the work they do.

• Free cardio at elevations where breathing is
already optional.
• Front-row seats to the most interesting
moments in Teller County.
• Opportunities to get dirty, sweaty, cold,
wet, and occasionally all four at the same
time.
• The chance to drive big red trucks that cost
more than most houses.

better every time they’re told.
• The satisfaction of knowing you made a
difference when your community needed
you most.

Requirements:
• Must function on minimal sleep.

We’ll provide the training, equipment, support, and occasional good advice.

PUBLIC NOTICE: While the UC Health lifeline helicopter is more than capable of reaching us during snow, we would rather not unnecessarily have them fly up for training tomorrow given the weather potential.

The training has been moved to Wednesday 10/21/2026 at 5:15PM to accommodate the snow and more daylight.

Thanks for your understanding and the same requests apply as before for not standing or parking near the helipad during this time unless you are participating due to potential sudden wind and debris.

Come down and see us if you might be interested in joining.

Thanks

Victor Fire responded to a single vehicle rollover on Gold Camp Road this morning. No injuries.

Thanks to the citizen who called in the accident. Make sure and watch your speed especially on dirt and in turns.

Thanks to our partners at Teller County Sheriff's Office and Colorado State Patrol for their assistance this chilly fall morning.

10/06/2026

PUBLIC NOTICE: Wednesday, October 14th at 6:15pm Victor Fire will be conducting training with the UC Health Lifeline Helicopter at the Victor Helipad.

Please do not be alarmed if you see the helicopter land, shut down, stay for a while and then take off and land some more for training. Also do not be alarmed by the presence of the fire trucks at the helipad.

We are constantly training to help serve our population better and appreciate UCHealth LifeLine for their assistance in that effort.

If you are interested in joining we encourage you to come down and apply.

We do ask that you do not park near the helipad or hang around the helipad as the helicopter produces quite a bit of wind and sends a decent amount of dirt flying and this can be alarming and or injure you if you are not prepared and expecting it.

Note that weather, the helicopter being dispatched and other events could cause the helicopter to have to cancel. If this happens training will be at the station and we will reschedule the hands-on piece.

Please share with your neighbors for awareness.

The pager goes off and Public Works lays down their tools, a contractor shuts off his saw, a programmer steps away from a meeting. They get to the station, they get on the truck, and they drive toward whatever it is. Then they go back to work the next morning like nothing happened, because to them nothing unusual did happen. That was just Tuesday. These departments run on older engines, pancake breaktasts, t-shirt sales and donations.

The part outsiders never quite believe is that in a small town the person pulling you out is almost certainly somebody you already know. He fixed your water line. She was in line at the post office with you yesterday. They are not strangers in uniforms. They are neighbors who decided that when it is three in the morning and the pager goes off, somebody has to go, and it might as well be them.

If you are interested in joining Victor Fire message this page, stop by city hall, or come by the station or the helipad Wednesday, October 13th at 6:00pm. This month we are practicing what it takes to get a helicopter safely on the ground for those calls where speed is of the utmost importance.

10/01/2026

Today Victor Fire responded to a call for assistance in town that required air transport.

We thank our partners at Southwest Teller County EMS and UCHealth LifeLine for their quick response and assistance. Thanks to Teller County Sheriff's Office Dispatch and Deputies for their assistance as well. We are a team.

Know that we are here for you day or night, rain or snow. Call 911 and we will be on the way. Never hesitate to make the call. We would rather show up and you be fine and just say hello than to not have you call.
