FOOTHILLS FIRE AND RESCUE AUXILIARY

What FOOTHILLS FIRE AND RESCUE AUXILIARY does

Foothills Fire and Rescue Auxiliary is the auxiliary arm of the Foothills Fire Protection District, a Colorado special fire protection district (a quasi-municipal government entity) headquartered at 28812 Rainbow Hill Road in Evergreen, Colorado. The organization protects life and property within Jefferson County through fire suppression, emergency medical response staffed by Emergency Medical Technicians and Emergency Medical Responders, wildfire mitigation, and community fire safety education. It operates as part of a broader emergency response network, complementing the Highland Rescue Team Ambulance District's advanced life support services and cooperating with other Jefferson County fire protection and law enforcement agencies.

The district's product surface spans core emergency services (fire response, wildland services, emergency medical response), a Community Wildfire Protection Plan with interactive hazard mapping (updated December 2020), fire prevention and burn permit administration, and supplementary resident-facing offerings including reflective IFC-compliant address signs sold for a minimum $40 donation and the LookoutAlert emergency notification system. The underlying technology stack includes standard firefighting equipment, back-office response tools (I am Responding, ESO Incident Reporting), the Streamline website platform designed for special districts, Google Analytics, and the Aira accessibility service.

The organization's revenue model is primarily public-sector: as a special fire protection district, it operates largely on property tax revenue collected from district residents within Jefferson County, supplemented by charitable donations and minor revenue from address sign sales and fire permit fees. The district is governed by an elected Board of Directors (President Stephanie Graf, Vice President Dan Hartman, Treasurer Dave Stajcar, Assistant Secretary Richard Shaw, and Member Rob Johnson) and maintains governance transparency through publicly available board meeting agendas, minutes, budgets, and a strategic plan. There are 7 listed employees.
