At 11:55 a.m., crews were dispatched to reports of a trailer that flipped at Laporte Ave. and Howes St. Crews assisted cleaning up gasoline that leaked. No one was injured. The intersection will remain closed to westbound traffic until the trailer is safely towed. #PoudreFire

During the 360, a captain saw a small amount of smoke & could smell fire, so confirmed a structure fire. The room/area was filled with smoke but the heat was low enough for crews to stay upright during the search. No injuries have been reported. A fire investigation is underway.

The eastbound lanes of Mulberry St. are blocked at the intersection of Peterson St. after a 20 ft. trailer tipped. The Tower 1 crew used a lift to untangle the pull chains, and remove the trailer from the hitch and release tension. No injuries reported.

PFA worked with the Larimer County Coroner’s Office to ensure the person’s family was notified before confirming the information. Our hearts and thoughts are with all those affected by the loss. A cat was also found deceased inside the unit.

We joined local agencies at the Public Safety Institute for a demo with the Aims Fire/EMS Xplorers program. Lt. Kokias & Engineer Evans helped students gear up, explore one of our tower truck aerials, and learn more about careers in the fire service. #PoudreFireAuthority #PFA

The 26-1 Firefighter Recruit Academy joined one of our engine crews for a Friday Flowdown! Teams used opposing hose streams to keep the barrel from crossing the cones on their side—building teamwork, communication, and nozzle-control skills along the way. #Poudrefire
