OAK CREEK FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT

Even with the wet weather we are having there is still a chance of wildfire. The hotter weather means things are drying out. This means the chance of wildfire is increasing every week. Does your home have the defense measures in place to survive a wildland fire? Please take time to understand what you need to do to better prepare your home in case of a wildland fire.

The Oak Creek Fire Protection District will be happy to come visit with you at your home to do a walk thru home defense inspection. We can help you understand what dangers you have at your home and how to mitigate them. You can also go to Routt County Wildfire Mitigation Council’s website (Resources – Routt County Wildfire Mitigation Council (routtwildfire.org) for more links to resources that can help you with mitigation efforts.

This new website has been constructed to give the residents of Oak Creek Fire Protection District better access to the information and services that our fire district have to offer. It is the goal of this fire district to provide the best possible service we can with the money earned from the taxes collected from the district.

We love to hear from the residents of the Oak Creek Fire Protection District. We have provided a way for you to contact us with questions, concerns, ideas, or just general comments. You can choose who your submission is sent to (i.e. administration, the fire chief, or the board of directors).

Our goal always is to be transparent and to provide informative responses to the questions asked. You will receive a response back to questions. Depending on the type and sensitivity of the question answers may be in the form of an email, web posting, or directed to the board of directors which will be discussed at the next scheduled board meeting.
