History
The Firestone, Colorado, post office opened on August 30, 1907, and the Town of Firestone was incorporated on October 8, 1908. The town was named for Jacob Firestone, a landowner.
In April 2017, an explosion caused by an untapped gas well destroyed a home on Twilight Avenue, killing two people and seriously injuring a third. This incident prompted a state-wide discussion on fracking and drilling throughout the state. On May 24, 2018, the drilling company responsible for the blast, Anadarko Petroleum Corp., announced it had reached a settlement for an undisclosed sum with the family affected by the blast.
On June 7, 2021, an EF-2 tornado started on the farmlands of Firestone. It tracked northeast for about 2 miles before heading north away from the town. Minimal damage to crops was recorded.
