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.

What's New & Misc.

Current Wildfire Danger is:

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

Fall is here. Time to think about getting your chimmney cleaned, and firewood in. Be careful with those chainsaws! If you're thinking about burning a slash pile, please see our instructions below.

Although rains help reduce the risk of big wildand fires, the risk is never completely gone and can quickly become severe with just a few dry days. Many of our biggest fires have taken place in the fall. Please keep an eye out for roadside signs that indicate the present fire danger and keep abreast of current fire restrictions.
