Arvada Fire Department

District Board

In 1949 local citizens went to the polls and approved the formation of the Arvada Fire Protection District. The formation transferred control and financing of the department from the Arvada City Council to a board of directors consisting of five elected officials. Board members are elected by citizens of the district and serve staggered four-year terms. The most challenging and significant venture the current Board of Directors undertook was augmenting the district's volunteer fire department with paid fire suppression personnel. With the support of taxpayers, the Board of Directors ensured that six district fire stations are staffed with career firefighters at all times. The Board of Directors meets at Arvada Fire Training Center on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM. Members of the public are welcome and encouraged to attend their meetings.
