Founded in 1934 as a one-station volunteer department, the Westminster Fire Department has grown substantially and now operates as an all-career, all hazards fire department utilizing the 48/96 scheduling model. The city of Westminster as a whole has also evolved from its roots as a small farming community on the outskirts of Denver to the city it has become today. The Westminster Fire Department

is comprised of 144 personnel, both commissioned and civilian. The executive command team includes a fire chief, two deputy chiefs, an EMS chief, fire marshal, training chief, emergency management coordinator, management analyst, executive assistant and three shift battalion chiefs to oversee the department. Almost 70 percent of those are medical related. The remainder of calls include response to fires, alarms, hazardous materials, rescues (water, technical, etc.) and public assists. Response time is typically under six minutes. The Westminster Fire Department has been awarded accredited status through the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI). This accreditation demonstrates that Westminster meets or exceeds industry best standard practices. The City of Westminster also acheived Class 1 status through the Insurances Services Office (ISO). This is the highest rating that a city/fire department can attain. Only .04% of fire departments across the United States and Canada have achieved both accredited status as well as an ISO 1 rating.

The Muscular Dystrophy Association and the IAFF have partnered since 1954 to support individuals and families affected by neuromuscular disease. Through this partnership, firefighters across the country have helped raise millions of dollars to support research, care, advocacy, and programs to help individuals live longer, more independent lives.

The Westminster Fire Department has a long-standing tradition of participating in the Fill the Boot campaign, and the generosity of our community continues to make this effort successful year after year.

Thank you for your helping those affected by neuromuscular disease!

At 3:16 a.m., fire crews responded to a business near 104th Avenue and Federal Boulevard for a fire alarm. The call was quickly upgraded to a full structure fire response when they saw smoke coming from the business. The fire was out within 15 minutes of fire crew arrival.

The origin area is where recycled batteries are stored. As with all of our fires, this incident is under investigation. One barrel of recycled batteries is still off-gassing. Fire crews remain on scene to monitor the barrel.

We extend our appreciation to North Metro Fire Rescue District and City of Thornton Fire Department for their assistance with this call.
