La Junta, Cheraw and Swink Colorado

Welcome to the La Junta Fire Department's website

We have created this site to show you who we are, what we do, and what services we provide to our community. The La Junta Fire Department is part of the La Junta Rural Fire District. The Fire District encompasses the communities of La Junta, Cheraw, and Swink. The Fire Department is comprised of Captain Christian Weber, Engineer Michael Clark, Engineer Tracy Vasquez, Engineer Elijah Morgan, Engineer Matt Johnson, Engineer Brian Graham, Engineer Isaiah Chaparro, Engineer Aaron Childers, Engineer Steve Elwood, EMTP Francis Song, EMTB+ Alisa Ricken, and EMTB+ Caulin Hulsey. They are supplemented by community volunteers from La Junta, Swink, and Cheraw. These volunteers make up the John Fisher Hose Company, one of the oldest chartered Volunteer Fire Organizations in Colorado. They were organized in 1883.

Please take a minute and look through our website. We have tried to put a wide variety of topics and information on the site to answer any of your questions or meet any of your needs. If you find something that doesn't work or would like to see a topic explained further, please feel free to email me.

Thank You!
Brad Davidson - Fire Chief
