Frederick, Colorado - The Frederick-Firestone Fire District (FFFD) has announced the passing of Community Risk Reduction Specialist Kristen Hayes on Thursday, February 27, 2025. Hayes, who joined the FFFD in early 2023, was a significant contributor to the district’s educational outreach and community safety programs.

Kristen Hayes began her career in emergency services in 2009 as a 9-1-1 Dispatcher for Adams County Communications (ADCOM).

Her passing has deeply affected her colleagues, community members, and her family. The Greeley Fire Department has also expressed their condolences, extending their sympathies to Hayes’ family and the FFFD team.
