(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) will open the doors to all 24 fire stations across the city, welcoming the community to meet their neighborhood firefighters, as part of Mayor Yemi Mobolade’s 1,000 Neighborhood Gatherings Initiative.

“Mental Health is an important topic in my department. I understand the heaviness mental health can bear on our community and fully support Mayor Yemi’s initiative in helping our neighbors feel less alone,” said Fire Chief Randy Royal. “I think I can speak for all of my crews when I say we are very excited to welcome our community into our firehouses and meet some new faces, build new relationships, and be good neighbors.”
