Why It Exists — Honoring Kristen Hayes

Kristen's Closet was inspired by fellow fire departments in Colorado that offer free medical equipment to the communities and residents they serve. The program is housed in a small shed owned by the Frederick-Firestone Fire District (FFFD), located directly between FFFD's Administration Building and Station 2 in Frederick.

The story behind the name, Kristen's Closet, is to honor and remember FFFD's Community Risk Reduction (CRR) Specialist, Kristen Hayes, who passed away in February 2025 after a battle with leukemia. Kristen was an inspiration not only in the community but also within the District, due to her passion for risk reduction among the residents in the communities she served. Kristen's passion and work will always be remembered, and Kristen's Closet will be a small mark in doing that. Her love of CRR, her passion, and kindness represent the FFFD as we work toward providing this free service of free medical equipment to the residents within our District.
