Foothills Fire Protection District

The Foothills Fire & Rescue family protects life and property in the community in which we live, with integrity, pride, and professionalism. The district has five firehouses to protect 25 square miles of varied terrain, from newer subdivisions with hydrants to heavily forested rural areas with domestic wells. Foothills is also responsible for responding to motor vehicle accidents on nine miles of I-70 and incidents in Denver’s 2,400-acre Genesee Park and 200-acre Lookout Mountain Park, as well as Jefferson County Open Space in Clear Creek Canyon The District cooperates with other Jefferson County fire protection and law enforcement agencies, recognizing that extreme situations will arise from time to time where the assistance of other jurisdictions will be indispensable.
