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.

Take a Peak at our New Fire Engine!
At the February 2010 FFPD Board of Directors meeting, a new Rosenbauer Engine was approved for purchase. Funds used to purchase this fire engine were budgeted during the 2009-2010 cycle, and are included in the 5-year Long Term equipment replacement plan. The initial contract has been signed and key personnel from the Truck Committee will be traveling to the manufacturer the first week of April, for a pre-construction consultation. Delivery is anticipated for the 4th quarter of 2010. For more detailed information about our newly purchased fire engine, click here....
