Neighbors Helping Neighbors: Fowler Fire and Police Respond Swiftly to Highway 50 Fire

Today’s fire in the 67000 block of Highway 50 of Pueblo county, just outside Fowler, showed exactly how a small community takes care of its own.

Our Volunteer Fire Department responded quickly and did an outstanding job containing the fire and protecting nearby homes. Their readiness, training, and willingness to serve made the difference, and our community is safer because of them.

Because our Police Department was closer, officers responded immediately to check the area and support the fire crews. This included working with partner agencies and the railroad to temporarily stop rail traffic so firefighters could safely run water lines across the tracks and focus on putting the fire out.

From the resident who called it in, to the volunteers and responders who showed up, this is what neighbors looking out for neighbors looks like.

Communities like ours don’t work without people willing to step up. If you’ve ever thought about volunteering, especially with our fire department, now is the time. It takes all of us to take care of each other.

Thank you to our Volunteer Fire Department, our partner agencies, and our residents. We’re proud of this community.
