What We Do
North Metro Fire is an all hazards response team trained to handle a diverse range of emergencies. In addition to responding to emergencies, the District proactively works with residents and businesses to build a safer community through education, outreach and prevention. Some of the services you and your family can count on include:
North Metro Fire responds to incidents such as fires, hazardous materials and technical rescues, but over 70% of the calls our firefighters respond to involve a medical emergency. As a commitment to our citizens, each North Metro Fire engine and ambulance is staffed with a minimum of one paramedic and is fully equipped to handle advanced medical life support. Whether responding to an individual suffering from an ongoing illness or aiding someone in a trauma situation, North Metro Fire paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) are prepared to help.
North Metro Fire’s Fire Prevention Division works to ensure that all buildings in our community meet the requirements of locally adopted fire codes and hazardous material regulations. The Fire Prevention Division provides technical assistance during the planning, construction and remodeling of structures. Our firefighters also perform regular inspections to help keep our schools, workplaces and public buildings safe.
