Q:To be a firefighter, do you have to live in the boundaries?
A:
Our preference is to have members
that live in
district because they are less likely to have long response
times and are at less risk when responding to the station in their own
vehicle for a call. However, we may consider someone outside the district.
Q:How can I help the department without being a firefighter?
A:
There are many ways to help your local volunteer fire department.
You could help form an auxiliary that supports the department.
Of course, you can always make a donation.
Q:Is there a standard size, type and location for a house's address
sign/number?
A:
Signs/numbers should be at least two inches high, mounted at the end of the
driveway (on a tree or pole), between 36 and 48 inches from the ground
(above most snow depths)and be reflective (to be seen with flashlight at
night).
Homes that still display the old four digit fire number (not the address)
should remove those since that numbering system is no longer used. The Fire
Department only uses street addresses. It's important to remember that many
houses in the community have difficult access issues, are poorly lit at
night and can be hard to find. A highly visible sign will assist in a more
rapid response.
Q:Where can I dispose of oil, anti freeze or other chemicals?
A:
Rooney Road Recycling Center -
The center accepts a variety of household chemicals which are then recycled, disposed of, or offered for reuse.
There is also a wealth of resources around Metro Denver for those looking to recycle.
Check here to see the other local
Recycling Resources.
Q:How do I obtain a burn permit?
A:
Complete the application for burn permit and send it to the Fire Marshal, he will review the application and do an onsite inspection. There is a $70 fee payable to Jefferson County.
Q:Can I burn a recreational fire/bonfire at my house?
A:
If there is no burn ban or restrictions in effect (check with IHFR and/or Jeffco) then a
cooking fire is permitted. The fire must be contained in a fire pit no larger than 3' x 3' and the fire must be no taller than 2'. The fire pit must never left unattended and must be located in an open area. As a safety precaution there must also be a water hose connected and nearby.
