The mission of the Foothills Fire Protection District is to manage risks to life safety, health and property loss that arise from fire, transportation and other emergencies in the District, through a balanced program of mitigation measures and response capabilities. We will encourage the District’s residents to act in a safe manner. We will respond aggressively to emergencies and provide, first and foremost, for the safety of our volunteer members and paid staff.
The District will cooperate with other Jefferson County fire protection and law enforcement agencies in their own similar management efforts, recognizing that extreme situations will arise from time to time where the assistance of other jurisdictions will be indispensable.
We will complement Highland Rescue Team Ambulance District’s emergency medical response services to District residents with a capable and reliable staff of qualified EMTs and first responders.
