Four Mile Fire Department

	Boulder Community Network \| Emergency Center

Four Mile Fire Department is an all-volunteer organization that provides professional fire and medical first response to our community. We are located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, just west of Boulder, Colorado. Historic towns in our district include Orodell, Crisman, Salina, Summerville, Wallstreet, and Sunset. The population of our district is approximately 2200, spread over an area of 22 square miles.

We respond to around 80 calls (via 911) per year. Our department has 40 rostered volunteers, and about half of those respond regularly. We have four stations which house a total of seven emergency response vehicles: three engines, three water tenders, and one Humvee brush truck.

Please see the JointFire website for dates, times and locations. Prospective firefighters are welcome at any training; please check in with the instructor when you arrive.

Medical training is also administered by Jointfire; see the structure firefighting schedule. Additional free training is offered by Pridemark Paramedics, and satisfies Continuing Education credits for EMTs. Check their schedule for updates.

What's New & Misc.

Current Wildfire Danger is:

It's Spring! We would like to wish all our friends and neighbors a wonderful spring!

Snow melt in the mountains has begun. Along with that comes an increased risk of flooding. Four Mile Canyon drains a large area that streches up to the Divide. A single heavy thunderstorm anywhere in that area could cause a serious flood. Don't drive through flood waters; climb to safety instead.
