As a 100% volunteer organization, the Arapaho Fire Department is built on community support and depends on dedicated individuals. “We all have daily full-time jobs, and as we get toned, we all leave those jobs to come and protect the community,” said Chief David Weaver. “Arapaho remains committed to protecting the life, property, and wellbeing of the citizens of Arapaho and the community.”

Exec. Director Ann Ashcraft
