LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. — The largest wildfire in the state's history prompted first responders to become more efficient and more effective. Now, there's a team of officers and deputies in Larimer County who step in during natural disasters.
Since the team was finalized in the spring of 2021, its members have been tasked with responding to similar natural disasters across the Front Range. Fast forward to 2020, a bona fide team of specialized, firefighting LEOs still hadn't been created, but the desire remained. Now, as a member of the AHCR team, Thieman and his teammates are certified wildland firefighters who use their law enforcement training in tandem to respond quicker or provide armed protection — useful qualifications during a natural disaster, according to Stewart.
The AHCR team is funded through money previously allocated to the LCSO. Its members are LSCO deputies, police officers from Timnath, Estes Park and Colorado State University police departments.
