Peyton Fire Protection District has been serving their community as a formal district since 1988. Peyton Volunteer Fire Department was formed and started in 1954. The founder of the fire department is Merrill Weeks. The Peyton Fire Department is currently led by Fire Chief Chuck Omdahl, who has served on the Security Fire Department for 15 years. Chief Omdahl operates, serves, and protects the fire district with 20 volunteers, which include 2 Lieutenants and 2 Captains. An Assistant Fire Chief is planned to be appointed in the late summer of 2012. The Community of Peyton is also served by the Peyton Fire Explorer Program. This has been going on for the past 3 years, with approximately 8 current Fire Explorers. There have already been 4 Explorers that have graduated from the program, and they are now active Fire Fighters for the Community of Peyton. The District has been steadily updating their equipment and apparatus over the last few years. They currently have on order and expect delivery by February 2013, of a 3000 gallon combination tender/pumper. Chief Omdahl tells me that this new fire truck will be in line with what neighboring fire departments already have for their response, and will allow Peyton to respond to fires with a better initial water supply of 4000 gallons with the 2 first-in trucks. Water supply capabilities in this rural community are an important factor to consider, and makes a big difference in capablilities as the Fire District upgrades their fleet with new trucks. The Peyton Fire Protection District covers an area of 120 square miles in Eastern El Paso County, Colorado, USA.
