IAFF Local 5124 officially chartered in 2017.
The South Adams County Fire Department was established in 1942 as an all volunteer department. SACFD transitioned to a combination and then full career department in 2014 to effectively keep up with the rapid growth of the disctrict that encompasses Commerce City, Henderson, and parts of unincorporated Adams County, Colorado.
Since its charter in 2017, IAFF Local 5124 has partnered with community and businesses in the area, hosted charity events like the Steve Vincel Memorial Golf Tournament, and partnered with the Colorado Rapids to create Public Safety Night which includes fire, police and EMS departments from the metro area to raise money for CPFF Foundation and the Fallen Heroes Fund.
IAFF Local 5124 partners with Colorado Professional Fire Fighters and IAFF FIrePAC to lobby for firefighter issues as well as promoting those that benefit the firefighters, district, and citizens of South Adams County.
