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 13 square miles.

We respond to around 80 calls (via 911) per year. Our department has 45 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.

Winter is Here
It's the time of year to organize the wood pile and to turn thoughts to good hearty meals. In between snow falls is also a good time to complete fire mitigation work and create a defensible space around your property. A good place to start is to clear pine needles & leaves from gutters and roofing. If you need help contact our Fire Crew at 303.444.1833.

* Smoke Alarms: Check the batteries & perform a test! Properly installed and maintained fire protection can prevent most fire deaths.(NFPA)
