Fire Division Overview
The CSFS Boulder District works with federal,
state and local agencies in Boulder and Gilpin
counties to provide for wildfire protection of
people and the environment. District program areas
include wildland fire training and certification
and assisting rural fire departments in providing
fire apparatus, inspections, and equipment. Information
on specific training programs is available at
the Boulder
County Sheriff's wildland fire training site.
We work cooperatively with fire departments to
provide personnel and fire equipment to the national
interagency fire suppression effort. CSFS districts
provide coordination and support for local wildfire
initial and extended attack.
District personnel also work with private landowners
and land management agencies to provide technical
assistance for fire mitigation thinning and fuel
reduction programs. We assist homeowner groups
and subdivisions in wildfire pre-planning activities
and provide information and education support
through the Firewise program.
