LYONS Here’s your chance: Lyons Fire District opens the application period for volunteers By Marya Washburn Redstone Review LYONS – Lyons Fire is excited to announce the opening of our next application period for volunteers. We’ll be accepting applications for candidates for our next volunteer firefighting training cycle from September 15 through October 15. Training as a candidate for Lyons Fire Protection District is an engaging, exciting and rigorous six-month process. We accept candidates that live both within the Lyons Fire Protection District as well as outside of our district, and we always appreciate having as many local volunteers as possible. Our candidates learn the fundamentals and the ins-andouts of being a volunteer firefighter with Lyons during their first six months. They will learn the nuances of how to respond to all types of firefighter calls such as medical response, structure fires, wildland fire incidents and motor vehicle accidents. As a wildland-urban interface department that also has some more unique natural hazards, we also train in swiftwater rescue, ice rescue and technical rope rescue techniques. New candidates learn and practice how to go “on air” with our SCBA breathing apparatus, how to “tap a hydrant” to get water flowing from fire hydrants to our fire engines, and how to get their gear on correctly and quickly, which we call “two-minute drills.” All new candidates also learn how to drive our apparatus, from our fire engines to our wildland brush trucks to our water tenders, as well as the ins and outs of the operations behind both of our fire stations. Candidates learn everything they can about our fire district, from road names to hiking areas and everything in between. Because the candidate program with Lyons Fire Protection District focuses so much on training, the prerequisites to apply do not include any prior certifications. We do want candidates who are able to commit to our intensive six-
O B I T U A RY Dennis Raymond Bachy October 9, 1957 – August 1, 2021 Dennis Raymond Bachy, 63, passed away on August 1, 2021 at his home in Bullhead City, Arizona. He was born October 9, 1957 to Robert Leo Bachy and Darlene Marie (Cink) Bachy in Longmont, Colorado. He grew up and lived most of his life in Lyons, Colorado and graduated from Lyons High School in 1976. He loved to hunt and fish with his family in his younger days. He loved cars. He raced stock cars and loved watching stock car races. Dennis Bachy also liked to gamble, enjoying many visits to Las Vegas and Laughlin, Nevada. His dream was to live in the Laughlin and Bullhead City area and was able to accomplish that dream, buying a beautiful home in Bullhead City, Arizona in 2020. He was so proud of his home there. He had one son, Dennis, of whom he was enormously proud. His son and his wife Erika were able to enjoy a great visit with him last spring in his new Bullhead City home. His granddaughters, Kynsleigh and Berkleigh, were the joy in his life. They loved their “Papa” and could melt his heart with a smile. They are heartbroken and will miss him dearly.

Dennis Bachy Sr. was very close to his brother, Bob. Throughout their life they shared many good times and told their stories often. As brothers do, they fought, but ultimately loved each other and were the best of friends. He also had two cats, Simba and Cece, who were his constant companions for many years. They made the move to Arizona and helped him find comfort in his new home. When he laid down to rest for the final time, Cece was by his side. Dennis was preceded in death by his parents Robert and Darlene Bachy, cousins Dan Elwood and Michael Davidson, uncles Farren Elwood, Darrell Davidson and Morley Robinson, aunts Rita Matlack, Dolores Robinson and Rosemary Davidson. He is survived by his son, Dennis (Erika) Bachy of Cheyenne, Wyoming; two granddaughters, Kynsleigh Grace Bachy and Berkleigh Rae (in honor of her beloved grandfather) Bachy; brother, Robert Bachy of Lyons, Colorado and his partner Colleen Divine. He is further survived by his aunt, Arlene Elwood of Lyons, Colorado; and cousin Tammy (Rick) Crowell of Mead, Colorado; niece Sheena (Erick) Lovett of Phoenix, Arizona; and cousins Todd (Deborah) Davidson, Tommy Bloxham, Walter James (Jan) Bloxham, Loretta Robinson, Louise Robinson, Larry Robinson, and Mark Davidson. He is also survived by great-niece and nephew Kalen and Capri Lovett, and cousins Kyle Crowell and Daniel Elwood. A memorial service was held on August 30, 2021, at Ahlberg Funeral Chapel, 326 Terry Street Longmont, Colorado. An Inurnment Committal Service was held on August 30, 2021, at Longmont Mountain View Cemetery, 620 11th Avenue Longmont, Colorado.

month training process as well as a background check and medical exam. Once candidates become regular firefighting members of our protection district, they are then asked to complete a medical certification and structure fire academy within a year and a half to two years upon signing on to the department. The fire protection district strives to support their firefighters as they work on these particular certifications. Right now, we have several firefighters completing their structure fire certification with other neighboring fire departments in Estes Park at the Estes Park Fire Training Facility. Once new firefighter candidates are sworn in as regular members of the department, they will continue to train and learn with our entire firefighting force. And, while all of this training is happening, new candidates also get to experience the camaraderie of going through this intense training process with a group of eight to 10 new firefighters while also getting to know our current firefighter and officer team. Each new firefighter candidate is assigned a mentor who is already with the department. A mentor helps guide the new candidate through the training process and offers support throughout the candidate’s tenure with the department. Candidates will experience the world of the fire service, learning what it means to be an emergency responder and a firefighter. They’ll work on their physical fitness with group workouts and preparing for their wildland pack test early on in the training program. Oftentimes candidates go on to be career firefighters at large city departments, or become training specialists in skills such as technical rescue, vehicle extrication or wildland fire leadership. Many of our firefighters stay with Lyons Fire for years, continuing to help our community and help lead our district. If you’re interested in applying, please go to our website at http://www.lyonsfire.org or email recruitment@lyonsfire.org for more information.
