Four Mile Fire Protection District

What Four Mile Fire Protection District does

Four Mile Fire Protection District is a Colorado special district government entity headquartered at 8437 Teller County Road 11, Florissant, Colorado. It provides fire suppression, emergency medical services (EMS), wildland fire response, and technical rescue services to residents and property owners within its defined boundaries in Teller County. The organization also provides and receives mutual aid support to and from surrounding fire districts in the region. Service delivery relies on a lean staff of approximately 6 paid personnel supported by roughly 39 volunteers holding certifications including CPR, Basic Life Saver, FF1/Hazmat Operations, FF2 Wildland, and EMT/Paramedic credentials. The district's Station 1 maintains 20,000 gallons of water storage in cisterns, as the district has no hydrant infrastructure.

The organization is governed by an elected board of directors (Jeff Carnahan as President, Randy Bruggink as Vice President, John LeBlanc as Secretary, Paul Jackson as Treasurer, and Bob Reiss) and operates under Colorado special district law. Its revenue model is fundamentally tax-funded: the district levies property taxes on residents within its boundaries and supplements this with community donations accepted via PayPal, Venmo (@FourMileFPD), check, and cash. The district conducts active volunteer recruitment, hosts community events, and publishes transparency documentation through the Streamline special district technology platform. A supplementary product offering — Night Visible Address Number Signs — is sold at a modest price to improve emergency response location accuracy.

Four Mile FPD is not a commercial enterprise; it does not generate revenue through competitive market activity and is not subject to typical growth, churn, or competitive dynamics. Its strategic posture is maintenance and community service rather than expansion. An active fundraising campaign with a $50,000 goal targets station support for manning, equipping, and training first responders. The Fire Brigade, a separate volunteer arm led by Chief Trenity Stephens, coordinates fundraising events and large-incident support operations. The organization's website is powered by Streamline, a technology vendor specializing in special district governance and compliance.
