The unincorporated areas around Greeley to the east and south were served by the Western Hills Fire Protection District when I lived there, including the area called "Garden City", which is in southeast Greeley. I think their station became the Union Colony Fire training center, if I recall. That Dept made up the other half of Union Colony Fire. I wonder if that area will go back to the Western Hills name?



Anyone have photos of Greeley-area rigs? The Commish has one Evans FD rig posted (1967 Ford C/Boardman) over on the Boardman group, and when I lived there Evans ran a 1986 Ford C/American (?) 50' telesqurt, a 1978 Ford C/American (I think) and what I believe was the first rescue that SVI (SuperVac) ever built - 1976 Chevrolet C-60/SuperVac - I think it was their demonstrator that Evans bought. Everything except the 1967 were in lime green. Current or retired Greeley rigs would be appreciated, too. I never managed to get a photo of their early 70's ALF 1000 series (or was it a 900?) open cab pumper that ran as Engine 11 (reserve) from Station 1 in the late 80's, along with Engine 1's Century Series - Just before they bought the Pierce Telesqurt around 1990 or so. Unfortunately I wasn't photographing apparatus yet (film was too expensive for a college student)...
