fire and rescue

Two structure fires, four dumpster fires, a river rescue — Great Falls Fire Rescue had quite a July 4th weekend.

Smoke billowed from a second-story window, sending firefighters racing to save both lives and beloved pets in a scene that felt all too close to home.

Firefighters are on high alert as Great Falls grapples with a spike in fire incidents — from homes to golf courses, it’s a busy time for GFFR.

Climbing over 1,300 steps in full gear is no small feat! This year’s event had firefighters stepping up for a purpose.

Great Falls Fire Rescue has been tirelessly responding to multiple house fires since November 2024, emphasizing the importance of fire safety in our community.
