The Denver fire department partnered with the National Fallen Firefighters foundation in producing a documentary in honor of their fallen firefighters with the hope that other can learn from the DFD's tragedies. The goal of every fire company is to bring their firefighters home safe to their families at the end of the day and the sharing of these experiences goes a long way in helping to make that happen.

Excerpt from the NFFF:

Denver firefighters opened their doors and their hearts to share painful lessons to help improve firefighter safety across the country and around the world. The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) has released Denver Fire Department: Leadership So Everyone Goes Home, a documentary highlighting the department's efforts to make improvements after the tragic loss of three Denver firefighters over a six-year period.

The documentary, produced by STATter911 Communications in association with Greg Guise Media and PC Productions, focuses on the line-of-duty-deaths of Firefighter Robert Crump in 2000, Assistant Chief Charles Drennan Jr. in 2001 and Lt. Richard Montoya in 2006. Members of the department, from the rank of firefighter up to the fire chief, share their insights into the loss of these three men and talk about other incidents where Denver firefighters have been seriously injured.
