Grand Lake Fire Today

As of January 1, 2005 Grand Lake Fire has employed staff members in support of 22 volunteer firefighters.  The Fire Chief focuses on administrative duties while the Captain has operational readiness and day to day duties within the organization and community.  In support of the Captains, are a Lieutenant and Technician who assist with public education, apparatus and facilities maintenance, and emergency response.

The firehouse is staffed seven days a week (7:00 am - 6:00 pm) with a crew of four paid staff while all department members are available via pager to respond to emergency calls 24/7.  Evenings will enjoy coverage by volunteer firefighters.  Our volunteers average 260 hours per year training, responding to calls and performing a multitude of work projects around the station and in the community.

GLFPD has made a commitment to the community to provide a level of service second to none.  We offer free CPR, workplace safety and First Aid classes to folks who live in our district.  We are very active in the schools with fire prevention and injury prevention programs and make our firehouse available several times each week for various civil and non-profit groups.  The Fire Chief is deeply committed to providing the best service at the most economical price to our community and encourages input, whether good, bad or ugly from anyone, anytime.
