Off-duty Arvada firefighter dies following Sunday motor vehicle crash, department says

A 13-year veteran of the Arvada fire department died Sunday after being involved in a motor vehicle crash, the department announced on social media.

Kyle Trombly, 34, was off-duty at the time of the crash, which happened near Highway 72 and Indiana Street in Arvada.

Trombly had most recently served out of Station 1, where he started in January of 2023, the department said. He had previously served out of Station 4.

He served as a volunteer firefighter with Fairmount Fire before joining Arvada Fire in 2011.

“Kyle was a great friend to many,” the department wrote on social media. “He leaves a lasting impression on all of those who were lucky to serve with him.”

A procession was held for Trombly on Tuesday.

"We are heartbroken to hear of his passing and offer our condolences to his family, friends, and the Arvada Fire family," the Jeffco Sheriff's Office wrote in a post on the social media site X, along with a video clip of the procession.

A GoFundMe online fundraiser was created to help Trombly's family during this time.
