Public Education

The best way to fight a fire is to keep it from ever starting. That's why PFA works with children and adults in the community to teach fire safety and prevention. These are a few of our current programs:

Open Flame Cooking Notice

Residential Safety Checklist

Spend a few minutes to fill out our Residential Safety Checklist and see how safe your home really is.

Residential Safety Check Liability Waiver

Please view and sign the following form if you are requesting a Residential Safety Check by Poudre Fire Authority.

Fire Drill Facts and Procedures

Learn how fire drills can save lives and how to do them in your home.

Response Survey

Complete Emergency Response Survey recently sent to you in the mail. If you submit the Response Survey on the WEB, you do not need to return the mail portion.
