COVID-19 Response
All of us in Colorado Springs have been asked to make many adjustments to our routines during the past year and a half. With increased vaccination rates, we are slowly returning to some semblance of a “normal” lifestyle. The Fire Foundation of Colorado Springs wants to recognize the dedication and sacrifices of our first responders throughout the pandemic.
While most of us have been asked to avoid leaving the safety of our homes, our firefighters, police officers, paramedics, EMTs and medical professionals, in addition to thousands of other essential workers, have been laboring 24/7 to ensure the impacts of COVID-19 are limited and contained as much as possible. Fire Foundation board members, along with our entire community, are grateful for the commitment and willingness of all first responders to place others before self.
Fire Foundation board members continue to support the department during these challenging days, and we encourage Colorado Springs residents to remember and honor the commitment of our firefighters and all first responders and other essential workers.
With your donations, the Foundation can help ensure the continued safety and wellbeing of our frontline heroes.
