The Suncor Fire Department will be conducting live fire training exercises weekly beginning Thursday, Sept. 24, through Thursday, Oct. 29 (see planned schedule below). Weather permitting, activities will begin around 8 a.m. and last until approximately 4 p.m. The exercises will produce large flames and thick smoke periodically throughout the day. The Suncor Fire Department uses water to extinguish the flames produced for these trainings, and does not use PFAS-containing foam in any fire training activities at the Commerce City refinery. In the event of an actual emergency, all training would cease, and proper alarms would be sounded.

Adams County Health Department (ACHD) officials confirmed the first death from West Nile virus, an adult resident, within the county this year.

West Nile virus is spread to people through the bite of infected mosquitoes. Most infected with the virus do not have symptoms. However, one in five could develop flu-like symptoms, which typically begin two to 14 days after exposure. Serious, potentially deadly neurologic illness occurs in fewer than one in 100 infected people.
