2023 was a year of significant change for the Manitou Springs Fire Department and the citizens and visitors of our community. Most notably, tremendous efforts to create the first ever EMS Transport Division of the Manitou Springs Fire Department were implemented in February. The new EMS Transport Division was envisioned to greatly reduce the response time for an ambulance to arrive at an incident and transport patients of injury or illness.
On behalf of all members of the Manitou Springs Fire Department, I would like to thank our city’s leaders and our community for your support and wish you all a very safe and healthful 2024.
Sincerely,
John K. Forsett
Fire Chief
