PROPOSED WESTERN HILLS FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
February, 1974
PURPOSE
This service plan study has been prepared by the Committee
for the formation of the proposed Western Hills Fire Protection
District, to provide the property owners and other interested
parties with reliable information pertinent to the establishment
of a fire protection district. Justification for the study
is based upon the need for fire protection which is non-existant
-- in this area. The findings of this report result from field
surveys and other necessary investigations to establish a firm
basis from which to project needed facilities and costs thereof.
DESCRIPTION OF AREA
The proposed district comprises approximately 30 square
•
miles surrounding the incorporated areas of Greeley and Evans .
The proposed service area extends approximately six miles east
of the esterly boundary of the City of Greeley limits , and
approximately four miles west of the westerly boundary of Greeley.
It is bounded on the westerly side by the Milliken and Windsor
Fire Protection Districts, on the north by the Eaton Fire
Protection District, and on the east and south by the Fire
Protection Districts of Platte Valley and LaSalle. The pro- .
posed district boundries are shown on Exhibit 1.
_i_ 740491
.. POPULATION AND ASSESSED VALUATION
The current estimated population of the proposed district
is 3, 500 . It is projected that the population could substantially
increased by 1980 . Based on current records of the Weld County
Assessor's office , the assessed valuation of the proposed district
is $12 , 765, 890 at the present time. This valuation does not
include the values assessed under specific ownership and the
new 1974 method of assessing mobile homes.
AGENCIES CONSULTED
During the initial stages of information gathering, there
were numerous governmental and quasi-municipal agencies consulted
and visited . These include :
Fort Collins Fire Department
Poudre Valley Rural Fire Department '
Loveland Fire Department
- Loveland Rural Fire District
Arvada Fire Department
Division of Local Governments of the State of Colorado
Colorado State Office of Emergency Preparedness
Weld County Civil Defense' Agency
_ City of Greeley (Ad Hoc Committee established by the
City Council)
-2- .
JUSTIFICATION
There is no fire protection for the entire area covered by
this proposed district. The City of Greeley is furnishing interim
service during the formation of the proposed fire protection
district.
It is very obvious that the necessary protection of life and
property is needed due to the development of property for
residential and commercial business in the proposed district. .
FACILITIES
Stations - The facilities to be provided for adequate fire
protection for the proposed district require construction of a
fire station east of the city limits of Greeley and another
station west of the city limits of Greeley. These will be one
story, two bay, prestressed concrete structures, including space
for equipment, and living accomodations. The location of the
station on the east side of Greeley is planned for the northwest
corner of 13th Street and First Avenue . The west station is
planned for the southwest corner of 51st Avenue and 20th Street.
Call and Alarm System - The call and alarm system for the
proposed district will be part of the North Weld Radio Fire
Reporting Service, Inc.
Staff - The fire fighting staff to man the fire station will
be adequately trained to operate the equipment, provide immediate
response to fire alarms , and properly protect life and property.
-3-
The initial staff will consist of seven full time paid professional
fire fighters, augmented by a trained volunteer group. The
salary range for the seven full time staff members will be
$7,200 to $9,000 per man per year. This range is comparable to
that paid other professional fire fighters in the surrounding
area.

FINANCIAL FEASIBILTY
A survey has shown that the operation of the district is
feasible with an annual budget of $93,224. The mill levy to
support this budget is anticipated at 7. 3 mills which is below
-4-
the maximum mill levy allowed by law. This plan has outlined a
general obligation bond issue with a maximum interest rate of
seven percent and a maximum maturity of 20 years , with an
approximate 36, 700 repayment per year, or 2. 87 mills. See
. Exhibits 2 and 3. All of these studies take into consideration
that the incoporated Towns of Rosedale and Garden City are to be
included in the district. Letters from these towns requesting
inclusion are attached as Exhibits 4 and 5.
CLASS RATING SYSTEM
The "Class Rating System" is a method that is used by fire
insurance to rate a municipality or district's fire protection
capability, and thereby establish rates which property owners must
pay to receive fire insurance .
The system is administered by an organization known as
Insurance Services Offices, an office maintained by the membership
of a number of insurance companies. Both rural districts and
municipalities are subject to inspections by Insurance Services
•
Offices.
While regular inspections are made infrequently, municipalities
and districts are constantly monitored for changes in their
fire protection capability. A change in rating may occur when--
ever the "deficiency points" system warrants it.
The fire rating system examines a nuber of basic components
of fire protection and assigns a "class ratin" to each district
-5-
or municipality. The fire rating system looks at- the following
variables in assigning a rating.
1. Water Supply - water quantities and availabilities to each
location within the district are analyzed.
2. Fire Organization - the qualifications of personnel,
number of persons available f. or fire fighting, equipment,
training, generally all operations are judged.
3. Fire Service Communications - the dispatching services,
the communications in volunteer districts to individual
firemen, and fire alarm systems are critical.
4. Fire Safety Control - All fire prevention activities
including inspection services , building codes, and fire
education programs are judged.
5. Other - the characteristics of the area to be served
including the district's size ( or distance away from
nearest fire station) , the climatic conditions, terrain,
and general physiographic information becomes a component
of the fire rating:
As each component is rated, the overall or composite rating
becomes the "class rating" assigned. The fewer "deficiency -points"
a system rates, the higher the rating. A "First Class Rating"
(never achieved) would be the highest assigned, a "Tenth Class
Rating" means , in effect, no fire protection.
._ --6-
In this manner, fire protection systems are rated, and
property insurance rates are set. Any reassignment of a lower
to a higher (numeric) rating results in an increased rate for fire
insurance to property owners.
_ REQUIREMENTS FOR CLASS 9 RATING
It is anticipated that portions of the district would attain
a Class 9 rating upon implementation of fire protection by this
district. The requirements for a Class 9 rating are as follows:
A rural fire protection district as outlined by the
Inspection Bureau can be described as farm and ranch property
and should be eligible for fire insurance rate credits as
prescribed by the Farm Owners Policy programs on the farm and
ranch schedules for Colorado subject to the following stipulations .
_ 1. Risk must be located not more than 10 miles from the
headquarters of the approved rural fire department,
distance being measured over highways accessible to the
fire department apparatus.
2. They must have a copy of the court order or legal
resolution defining boundaries of the fire protection
district by section, township, and range where applicable
together with a copy of a map to a suitable scale , and
all this must be filed with the office in Denver, Colorado.
Their definition of a rural fire protection district is one
which has been classified either A or B by their office. This
approval contemplated the establishment of a fire protection
district under state law in compliance with the following:
-7-
1. The approved rural fire protection district must provide
Class 9 fire protection within five miles of the fire
station.
2. They must have a copy of the court order or legal resolution
defining boundaries of the fire protection district by
section, township, and range where applicable together
with a copy of a map to a suitable scale, and all this
must be filed with the office in Denver, Colorado.
Rural fire protection service consists of some fundamental
facilities, for example , an adequate number of well organized
records, reliable fire alarm facilities, and reliable fire apparatus
with proper equipment. Certain minimum requirements are defined
by the American Insurance Association.
1. Organization: The fire department can volunteer or call
or a combination of both. It can consist of 10 or more
men including the chief officer. These men meet and train
monthly. All members are to live in the community and five
or more respond to all fire alarms except that response
. of two full-time on-duty firement with primary unit
and at least ore full-time fireman with each additional
unit is acceptable .,
2. Fire Station: Apparatus to be suitably housed and
adequate facilities provided for care of hose and
equipment and for the protection of equipment.
3. Filing: Records have to be kept on all fires indicating
number of men responding, the meeting and training
sessions , maintenance of apparatus and equipment and
the district covered.
-8-
4. Alarms: An adequate and reliable means of receiving
and transmitting fire alarms is essential to provide
fire protection. An electric siren or other acceptable
device for sounding fire alarms should be centrally
located. Fire alarms should be audible to all firemen
required to respond to the alarms. Facilities for
promptly indicating fire location to responding firemen
should be provided.
5. Clothing: Fire service coats, helments , and boots are
to be carried on the apparatus or readily available for
men responding.
6. Apparatus: All apparatus must be of proper design,
power, and arrangement with reapect to the National
Fire Protection Association Standard No. 19. Total
weight of each unit when loaded for service not to exceed
the chassis manufacturer' s national vehicle gross weight
rating.
The type and design of equipment can vary between a Class A
or Class B rating. For example , a Class B rating rating requires
one truck equipped to carry 500 gallons of water. The pump
provided should be of acceptable design having a capacity of 50
gallons per minute or at least 220 pounds per square inch when
operating from draft. Portable pumping units are not acceptable.
The Class A rating requires two or more trucks, the primary unit
being a triple-combination pumper certified by Underwriter's
Laboratories , Inc. The auxiliary units must be capable of
transferring water to the pumper. The primary unit must have
pump capacity of at least 50 gallons per minute at 150 pounds
per square inch pressure . At least 1,500 gallons must be trans-
-
ported to a fire, with not less than 500 gallons on each truck.
-9-
A properly designed single vehicle carrying 1, 500 gallons of
water may be acceptable under favorable response conditions. The
following is a list of additional equipment that will be required
to be carried on the truck:
1. 150-foot reel of one-inch booster hose with combination
spray and straight-stream nozzle.
2. 1,000 feet of 2-1/2 inch with two 2-1/2 inch shut-off
nozzles having suitable tips preferably combination spray
and straight-stream type.
3. 300 feet of 1-1/2 inch hose with 1-1/2 inch shut-off
nozzles having suitable tips preferably combination spray.
and straight-stream type.
4. 20 feet of hard suction hose with adaptors of sufficient
size to supply the capacity of the pump.
5. 5 gallon hand pump tank extinguisher, fire department
type or equivalent.
6. Two 10 pound dry chemical extinguishers , fire department
type or equivalent.
7. One .14 foot ladder with folding hooks, fire department
type.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECO:,i.«END :TIONS
The committee for the formation of the Western Hills Fire
Protection District, after several months of exhaustive study
and work by many people, feels there is a very definite need for a
- fire protection district in the area described for the protection
of life and property. This district is essential, due to the
high population density in the area and also due to the inability
of other fire departments to adequately serve the rural area of
-- the district.
A study of the location of the two fire stations for the
proposed district has shown a maximum time to respond to the
scene of an emergency call of ten minutes to the furthermost
corner of the district.
-- - The facilities and service to be supplied are compatable with
adjoining fire districts and will complement overall fire
protection in the county. Mutual aid agreements with other
fire departments in the county have been investigated and are
planned.
Based on the information included in the service plan and
related documents, the committee for the district prays for a
favorable recommendation for the formation of the Western Hills
Protection District.

Dear Mr. Rice:
I am writing in response to your letter of March 7, 1974,
relative to your plan for a fire station on Highway 34 between
Chestnut and Daffodil Avenue opposite Linn Grove Cemetery at
the Cast edge of Creeley.
You requested a letter from the Department of Highways
stating "what the right of way width is at this point and also
that there are no plans in the foreseeable future for widening
this stretch of highway." The old plans which we have available
in this office indicate that we have a total of 62 ' of right of
way in this area with 30' north of the centerline of the present
highway. At the present time, we do not have any plans for
widening U.S. 34, but this does not preclude the possibility of
future improvements.
For your information, we have been working quite closely
with the Weld County Planning Commission, especially in pre-
serving right of way corridors along state and county highways.
Our projection for right of way needs along U.S. 34 thru the
subject is 150' (75' each side of centerline) ; however, in view
of the development that has already taken place thru this area,
our recommendation to the Weld County Planning Commission, as
discussed with Burman Lorenson, County Planner, this date,
would be for a minimum of not less than 100' (50' each side of
Mr. Howard E. Rice, Jr. U.S. 34 Business
March 20, 1974 E. Edge of Greeley

structures from this proposed right of way line would be at
the discretion of the Planning Commission.

- Dear Mr. Tanberg:
As you are probably aware, a new fire protection district is in the organization
process at this time. Proposed Western Hills Fire Protection District will
include all of the area surrounding Greeley not now in a fire protection district.
Organization of the district requires statements from all other fire protection
districts in the area—stating that each district does not intend to provide fire
protection service by annexation within the proposed fire protection district.
A brief letter to this effect is enclosed for your signature, and we would
appreciate its return just as soon as possible in order that letters may be
attached to the organization documents.
— Should you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to contact either
the undersigned or preferably Howard Rice, Greeley phone numbers 352-6722 (office)

A return envelope is provided for your convenience in returning this letter, and
