Welcome to Campbell County Fire Department

Greetings from the Chief,

Welcome to the Campbell County Fire Department (CCFD) website. As you explore our webpage, I think you will gain a better understanding of our organization and the services we provide.

The Campbell County Fire Department is governed by a “Joint Powers Fire Board” representing the City of Gillette, the Town of Wright, and Campbell County. Our service area encompasses nearly 5,000 square miles and is situated in Northeastern Wyoming. Our county produces roughly 30% of the nations coal supply from our open pit mines as well as significant amounts of natural gas, oil, and cattle. With all of these industries, our fire department faces a wide array of emergency responses.

CCFD is a combination fire department consisting of 29 career and more than 150 volunteer firefighters. Exceeding 80 pieces of apparatus and support vehicles, our department utilizes a variety of units to support our mission in Campbell County. We provide fire, rescue, EMS, and hazardous materials response services to approximately 50,000 citizens. Our volunteers provide county wide coverage from ten stations and eleven wildland support stations. The career staffs runs 24-hour coverage out of Fire Station 1, as well as augment the other volunteer stations on their days off. Our combination system offers the citizens of Campbell County a variety of firefighting and technical expertise by combining the professional disciplines of our volunteers and the firefighting experience of our system as a whole.

I have been involved in the fire service for 27 years and have served as Fire Chief at CCFD since December 2007. I am extremely excited about the future of this fire department as we work tirelessly to provide professional emergency services to our vibrant and growing community. I am proud of the women and men who give so much of their time and talents. Through all their efforts, the Campbell County Fire Department has become one of the most progressive fire organizations anywhere in the United States.

I hope you enjoy your visit to the CCFD website. Please use the “Contact Us” link if you should have any questions or comments about our organization.

CCFD Responds to Structure Fire

January 22, 2010

At 6:36 AM CCFD responded to 7002 Mather Avenue (Sleepy Hollow Subdivision) for a report of a structure fire. Reports indicate a neighbor discovered the fire. Upon arrival the detached double car garage was fully involved with fire. The first due engine company (Engine 1) used a combination of master stream and handline tactics to protect the primary exposures. The next arriving unit (Truck 1) assisted in setting up a portable monitor and an additional handline. In total six engine companies and one truck company responded to the incident and the fire damage was kept to a minimum. The garage contained a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee along with a 2007 Harley Davidson Motorcycle along with other belongings that are a total loss. The side of the house that faced the garage had started on fire which resulted in several broken windows causing smoke damage to occur to the interior of the residence. Also damaged by the fire, a neighbor’s house which faced the garage suffered damage to their vinyl siding. There were no injuries to report. Preliminary fire damage is estimated at $100,000.
