Recommendation of the Weld County Emergency Medical/Trauma Service Council
for: Front Range Fire Rescue

with Platteville Gilcrest, Mountain View Fire Protection, Windsor Severance Fire Rescue, Thompson Valley
Emergency Medical Service, Banner Health Paramedic Service, and Weld County Fire Agencies Mutual
Aid agreement. They will informally help out any agency that requests their assistance.
