Evans Fire Protection District

What Evans Fire Protection District does

Evans Fire Protection District (EFPD) is an independent Colorado special district local government entity providing fire suppression, emergency response, fire prevention, and community education services to the City of Evans in Weld County, Colorado. Formed on January 1, 2012, after voter-approved ballot measures in November 2011, EFPD operates as a standalone tax-funded entity governed by a five-member elected Board of Directors, separate from the City of Evans municipal government. The district serves approximately 24,000 residents across a 10-square-mile service area, staffing Station 2 (headquarters at 2100 37th St) 24/7 with 18 full-time career firefighters across three shifts plus 4 administrative staff. EFPD completed its transition from a volunteer-based model in January 2020, becoming fully paid for the first time in its 85-year history of fire service to the community.

EFPD's service portfolio centers on core fire suppression and emergency response capabilities, augmented by fire code permitting and inspections, all-hazard response (water rescue, hazardous materials, technical rescues), and community education programs including a certified child car seat safety program and burn/CO awareness outreach. Operational assets include modern Rosenbauer Commander EXT engines, a 2025 Pierce Enforcer tower apparatus, and a live-fire training facility (two-story building with propane and vehicle fire props) expanded in 2025 with a second building for multi-story response training. EFPD shares a Fire Marshal with LaSalle and Platte Valley Fire Districts under a January 2024 agreement, and maintains mutual aid relationships with Front Range Fire Authority and UC Health for ambulance transport.

The district is funded primarily through property taxes at 15.5 mills (approximately 85% of revenue, with a 60% residential / 24% commercial / 16% other property mix) supplemented by intergovernmental agreement fees, grants, vehicle tax, and fire impact fees collected via IGA with the City of Evans. Voters approved a new 1% sales tax (Ballot Issue 6A) on November 4, 2025, effective January 1, 2026, which will diversify the revenue base ahead of the City of Evans ceasing financial support of emergency services in January 2027.
