CSFD hosts community at 2nd annual open house
(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) opened its doors on Saturday, June 7, for its second annual open house, showcasing the dedicated people and unique equipment they use to keep the community safe. CSFD had live demonstrations from its high-angle rescue, Hazmat, and special operations drone teams. Officials also honored local community members who went above and beyond to help others in their greatest time of need. Chief Randy Royal said the open house is a great way for children to become more comfortable seeing first responders in full gear. 'It's a chance to interact with firefighters, especially for kids. It could be scary if we show up to their house, and especially if we are in our gear, because we don't look like a person sometimes,' said CSFD Chief Randy Royal. 'So we get the chance to show them that gear, and they get to see it.' Members from the Colorado Springs Police Department, Colorado Springs Utilities Wildland Units, and several other agencies were also in attendance. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
