About Firestone

Firestone is a community of approximately 17,400 residents in Weld County County, CO. This close-knit community values compassionate, local service providers who understand the bond between families and their pets.

Rapidly growing Carbon Valley town with almost entirely new-construction neighborhoods built from 2000 to present.

Local Considerations

  • Prairie exposure means high wind and hail risk with minimal natural terrain barriers to protect residential areas.
