We all know that Fire Departments respond to various emergency calls, but they also do much more than just first responder response.  Our local fire departments also perform various outreach and education services, including home ignition zone and Firewise community risk assessments. If you would like someone to assess your home for wildfire preparedness, contact your local fire department. 

Fire District Boundaries

Did you know that NOT all private lands in Grand and Summit Counties are included within the bounds of a fire district? Though the majority of privately-owned lands are included in a fire district, there are a few subdivisions and homes that are not. In case of a fire emergency, these non-fire district homeowners will likely get a response from a neighboring fire district. However, those homeowners may be charged a fee for that response.

 If your property is not located within a fire district, you still have a chance to be included in one. You may submit a “Petition for Inclusion” to a neighboring fire district and to ask if they will redraw their boundaries to include your property. Most fire districts will strongly consider these petitions because their ultimate mission is to protect life and property from fire. Keep in mind, though, that you will start to get an annual tax bill from the fire district once the inclusion is official.
