"Serving the high country since our founding"

Our Story

A Tradition of
Courage & Service

In the heart of Colorado's White River National Forest, Sargents has always been a community that looks out for itself. When the call comes — whether it's a structure fire on Hicks Avenue, a vehicle accident on Highway 13, or a rescue in the backcountry — the Sargents Volunteer Fire Department answers.

Our department is made up entirely of volunteers — teachers, ranchers, shop owners, and families who live and work right here in Sargents. They train relentlessly, maintain their equipment with pride, and show up at any hour without hesitation. This isn't a job for them. It's a commitment to the people and place they call home.
