LAKEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4) - FEMA Administrator Pete Gaynor visited with Colorado Task Force One in Lakewood on Wednesday. The group, overseen by FEMA, deploys across the country to various disasters -- most recently to Louisiana for Hurricane Laura.

Gaynor met with representatives at the West Metro Fire Training Center on Kipling Avenue.

"It has been a historic, unprecedented year with COVID-19, wildfires, hurricanes and everything else in between. The demand has been pretty high," said Gaynor.

He also visited the Colorado Convention Center on Tuesday. He is touring Region 8 to learn more about how the agency can support states to keep residents safe.
