FAIRMOUNT, Colo. — Arvada Fire and the Fairmount Fire Protection District are urging voters to support a merger of the departments.
Normally, it takes 17 firefighters to respond to a scene, according to the district. At any given time, Fairmount has seven and often has to rely on neighboring fire departments for help.That's where Arvada Fire comes in. "One is to be included into Arvada. One is to dissolve Fairmount. And then the other would be to increase the mill levy," said Oeltjenbruns.
