PREVIOUSLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do you find my house?
We can't help you if we can't find you.
Finding an unfamiliar lot can be difficult up here. It becomes even harder in the dark. Clear and visible signs can make all the difference to our ability to find you.To that end, North-West Fire Protection District asks that every property owner get an address sign. These are instrumental in helping the department locate your property in the event of an emergency. Signs should be posted at the end of the driveway and be easily visible from the road.Signs should be posted between three and four feet off the ground.Signs should not be obscured by trees or brush.Signs should not be so low or so close to the road that they may be obscured by snow or damaged by snow plows.Signs should face the most direct route to your property (the direction emergency vehicles are most likely to be coming from).
Minutes can make the difference in an emergency.
What is the Northwest Fire insurance rating?
The North-West Fire Protection District insurance (ISO) rating is nine except the towns of Fairplay, Alma, and Warm Springs subdivision are rated a six.
How do I know if there is a fire ban on?
