Show Notes

North Metro Fire Rescue District in Broomfield, Colorado, is preparing for a challenging wildfire season. After the states warmest winter, theyre conducting annual training drills to mimic fast-spreading grass fires. Every firefighter now requires wildland certification, known as the Red Card. Crews practice running through rough terrain in full gear to build skills for real emergencies. Veteran trainers note drier conditions, making these drills crucial. Newer team members push through physical challenges to join elite wildland units. Officials warn of struggles ahead and urge residents to cut back on flame risks, sign up for emergency alerts, and pack go-bags. As wildfire threats grow statewide, these crews are ready to respond.
