Torrington Fire Department reports mutual‑aid grass fires and early season activity
Summary
Fire Chief reported the department responded to six calls since the previous council meeting, including two large grass fires requiring mutual aid to Platte County and Mitchell, Nebraska; officials warned grass season may be starting early.
Fire Chief Keith Correa told the Torrington City Council the department has responded to six calls since the last meeting, including two large grass‑fire mutual‑aid responses to Platte County and Mitchell, Nebraska.
Correa said the two mutual‑aid incidents were grass fires and that some local undergrowth from previous years remains a concern. He said volunteers and equipment were coordinated with neighboring departments to maintain local coverage while providing mutual aid. Chief Correa also noted several department members deployed to larger wildland incidents earlier in the season.
Councilors thanked the chief for the update and commended interdepartmental coordination with nearby volunteer departments. No council action was taken on the report.
