Brita's Story

Brita dedicated her life to public service in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 when she noticed a need in her local community for emergency responders. Brita responded to the call by creating a nonprofit fire department with her friends and neighbors in McCoy, CO which has served the community for the last 20 years. Brita currently serves as the Fire Chief for the department.

Coloradan, a Public Servant, a Fire Chief, a Ranchwife, and a Trail Blazer are a few ways people know Brita Horn. She has been serving her community for the past 19 years as a fire chief and a first responder, and was also formerly elected Treasurer and Public Trustee of Rock County.

She’s also a keynote speaker, a high-performance coach, and a best-selling author of the book, “Drinking from a Fire Hose: 5 Essential Tools to Not Get Soaked”

Brita's Book

Drinking from a Fire Hose: 5 Essential Tools to Not Get Soaked

Learning the hard way is never easy.
Imagine, your gut is telling you to stand still and don’t move. Your heart is pounding so loud you can’t hear the Fire Captain screaming at you. Sweat is dripping down your back and your legs are shaking from the heavy bunker gear you are wearing. Your mind is telling to give up, just stop and go home. It’s not worth it.
But what if it is worth it? What if people are depending on you? What do you do?
You answer the call! You don’t give in! You don’t go home! And, you Never, Ever Give up.
