The Fort Lupton Fire Protection District is comprised of an area covering approximately 88 square miles in Weld County, Colorado. The ISO rating for the District is a Class 2 within five road miles of a fire station regardless of the distance from a hydrant. Outside of five road miles from a fire station, the rating is a Class 10. The agency is a Special District and operates on a tax levied on the residents within the District. Although we provide fire service for the City, we are not part of the City Government. A majority of the service area is outside of the city limits. The district ranges from WCR 22 to WCR 6 and from WCR 17 to WCR 37. The department responds to 1500 service calls annually. About 80% of these calls are medically related. The remaining 20% consist of some type of fire related call or are classified as “other” service calls such as public assists. The fire department is dispatched by the Weld County Regional Dispatch Center located in Greeley. 

The department is considered a combination department and is comprised of 24 career staff, two office personnel, a maintenance staff, and 30 district volunteer firefighters. The fire district staffs career firefighters to provide 24-hour on duty staff coverage with immediate response from two stations.  

The Fire Marshal provides public education and prevention programs for the community, conducts inspections of businesses, investigations of fires, provides smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, free gun locks to families in need, and oversees the storage and handling of hazardous materials.
