The Colorado Springs Professional Firefighters – IAFF Local 5 are an active, and positive influence in the Colorado Springs community.  It is the belief of the Colorado Springs Professional Firefighters that by engaging in worthwhile community efforts and causes, we are making a lasting and positive impact on our city. 

The members of The Colorado Springs Professional Firefighters not only place the welfare of our community above their own safety while on duty, they also volunteer countless hours to community service and charity fundraising.  Some of these charities include:  Go Red for Women, Dress for Success, Children’s Literacy, CSFD Explorer Post, MDA Fill the Boot, Fire Factor, and many more. 

The Colorado Springs Professional Firefighters also host the IAFF Fallen Firefighter Memorial for the entire nation each year.  The mission of the IAFF Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial, which is located in the shadow of Pike’s Peak, is to honor the sacrifice made by IAFF members who serve as professional fire fighters and emergency medical personnel who have given their lives in the line of duty.
