The budget is the financial master plan for the District and has been prepared in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting. It is consistent with the District’s mission statement and strategic plan, and has been prepared with the priorities and resources necessary to accomplish the District’s strategic priorities and objectives. In the November 2018 election, our citizens passed measure 7C, which established the residential assessment rate at a floor of 7.2%. A vital component to the stabilization of revenues in 2020 and beyond, the measure ensures our success in emergency response and prevention services while maintaining excellent fiscal stewardship. In February of 2019 the Moody’s General Obligation Rating increased the Districts rating from ‘Aa2’ to ‘Aaa’. Within Colorado, there are approximately 111 outstanding issuers with an underlying general obligation rating from Moody’s. With these, only 5% are rated in the ‘Aaa’ category, and West Metro Fire Protection District is the only special district and fire district in this category. We will continue to fortify the District’s financial sustainability through strategic management and accountability in efficient budgeting and always look for innovative ways to improve our efficiency and effectiveness. Sincerely, Don Lombardi Fire Chief “Whatever It Takes”…To Serve 2 WEST METRO FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT NAMES & TITLES OF ELECTED BOARD OF DIRECTORS DISTRICT 1 DISTRICT 4 DISTRICT 7 CASSIE TANNER MARTA MURRAY WENDY VOLMER PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT SECRETARY DISTRICT 3 DISTRICT 2 DISTRICT 5 MIKE FEELEY JERRY CASSEL PAM FEELY TREASURER DIRECTOR DIRECTOR DISTRICT 6 KRISTINA MOEDER COMMISSION ON FIRE ACCREDITATION INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR INTERNATIONALLY ACCREDITED AGENCY 2012-2022 3 WEST METRO FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT COMMAND STAFF DON LOMBARDI FIRE CHIEF SCOTT ROGERS MARK KRAPF BRUCE KRAL DEPUTY CHIEF OF OPERATIONS DEPUTY CHIEF OF ADMINISTRATION DEPUTY CHIEF OF LIFE SAFETY/ FIRE MARSHAL DIVISION CHIEF OF EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES JEREMY METZ DIVISION CHIEF OF SUPPORT SERVICES BOB OLME DIVISION CHIEF OF TRAINING DAN PFANNENSTIEL DIVISION CHIEF OF RISK MANAGEMENT/ACCREDITATION CLINT FEY FINANCE DIRECTOR GLENDA ARAGON HUMAN RESOURCES SPECIALIST SHANNON RUSH WELLNESS/WORKERS’ COMPENSATION MANAGER BOB STRATMAN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DIVISION DIRECTOR PAT PURDY FLEET SERVICES MANAGER GLEN MEADER FACILITIES MAINTENANCE MANAGER CHRIS SCHLEEF 4 West Metro Fire Protection District Organizational Chart Citizens Board of Directors Civil Board Fire Chief Service Attorney Committee Recruitment Candidate Executive Selection Assistant Committee Finance Director Deputy Chief Operations Deputy Chief Administration Deputy Chief Life Safety CO-TF1 Program Manager Public Information Officer Adopted 1.21.20 5 OUR MISSION The West Metro family is committed to protecting the community’s quality of life through prevention, preparedness, and all-hazards emergency response.

The District covers approximately 108 square miles within Jefferson and Douglas Counties including the city of Lakewood, the city of Wheat Ridge, and the towns of Morrison, Edgewater, Mountain View and Lakeside. This is a change from the previously reported 110 square miles, even after the merger with Wheat Ridge Fire Protection District, due to more accurate geospatial information systems data. The District is 8.4 miles wide from east to west and over 26 miles long from north to south. The District boundary is basically Interstate 70 on the north, the city of Golden and the foothills on the west, the city and county of Denver and city of Littleton on the east, and Roxborough Park on the south. History The Lakewood/Mountair Fire Department was founded in 1937, and during the late 1940s the fire district was established by the consolidation of smaller fire departments, becoming the Lakewood Fire Protection District. The Bancroft Fire District was formed in 1947. The District was consolidated from the Lakewood and Bancroft Fire Protection Districts on January 1, 1995. These two districts were managed as the Lakewood/Bancroft Fire Authority from 1990 to 1995. In 1995, the Authority became the West Metro Fire Protection District (WMFPD). The Roxborough Metropolitan District was formed in 1972, and its volunteer fire department was established in 1980. Roxborough Fire Protection District was added to the District in 1998. These mergers allowed the District to provide additional services (additional station, second tower) and deferred the need for additional revenue until 2006. 7 In 2006, the District passed a mill levy increase (from 11.382 mills to 12.382 mills) and a bond ($43 million) for capital projects that included a Training Center, five station replacements, a new aerial tower and a third district chief. Four of these five stations were replaced at their current locations (Stations 4, 5, 7 and 8). Station 10 was moved to the new Training Center site located at West Hampden Avenue and South Kipling Street. Station replacements were

An economic downturn has placed the economy, communities, and workers at risk. The events of September 11 dramatically increased concerns about personal safety and the security of our transportation systems, water resources, energy systems, food supplies, and other issues that were previously taken for granted. These issues have emerged at a time when our environment continues to be a concern. In Oregon, for example, the Oregon State of the Environment Report, released in September 2000 by the Oregon Progress Board, identified a number of environmental areas where Oregonians can expect continued problems under current policies and programs including: poor water quality, especially in urban and agricultural areas, inadequate water supplies, loss of wetlands, degraded riparian areas, depleted fish stocks, invasion of exotic species, diminished biodiversity, and waste and toxic releases. Similar problems exist throughout the West. All of these issues contribute to forest health problems which exacerbate the risks of wildfires to humans and the environment. How can we maintain and enhance our economic security and protect workers and communities while also conserving the environment? The way Western states answer this question may turn out to be one of the most important challenges facing the region for the next number of years.

    USFA-TR-145 -- Tire Recycling Facility Fire

    U.S. Fire Administration/Technical Report Series Tire Recycling Facility Fire Nebraska City, Nebraska USFA-TR-145/January-February 2002 U.S. Fire Administration Fire Investigations Program he U.S. Fire Administration develops reports on selected major fires throughout the country. The fires usually involve multiple deaths or a large loss of property. But the primary criterion T for deciding to do a report is whether it will result in significant “lessons learned.” In some cases these lessons bring to light new knowledge about fire--the effect of building construction or contents, human behavior in fire, etc. In other cases, the lessons are not new but are serious enough to highlight once again, with yet another fire tragedy report. In some cases, special reports are devel- oped to discuss events, drills, or new technologies which are of interest to the fire service. The reports are sent to fire magazines and are distributed at National and Regional fire meetings. The International Association of Fire Chiefs assists the USFA in disseminating the findings throughout the fire service. On a continuing basis the reports are available on request from the USFA; announce- ments of their availability are published widely in fire journals and newsletters. This body of work provides detailed information on the nature of the fire problem for policymakers who must decide on allocations of resources between fire and other pressing problems, and within the fire service to improve codes and code enforcement, training, public fire education, building technology, and other related areas. The Fire Administration, which has no regulatory authority, sends an experienced fire investigator into a community after a major incident only after having conferred with the local fire authorities to insure that the assistance and presence of the USFA would be supportive and would in no way interfere with any review of the incident they are themselves conducting.

It is applicable to Hydrocarbon Production and Processing Systems and associated utility and safety systems located on fixed (bottom-founded) offshore structures of various types. It also applies to systems installed on floating installations such as ships shape based FPSOs, tension leg platforms, spars, semisubmersibles, etc. There are differences in the practices adopted by the designers of fixed and floating installations. Some of these differences are due to physical limitations inherent in the construction of facilities on new or converted floating installations. Recognizing these differences, the requirements for facilities on fixed and floating installations are specified in separate chapters. Chapter 3 covers requirements for facilities on floating installations and Chapter 4 covers requirements for facilities on fixed installations. Facilities designed, constructed, and installed in accordance with the requirements of these Rules on an ABS classed fixed or floating offshore structure, under ABS review and survey, will be classed and identified in the Record by an appropriate classification notation as defined herein.

Signed: _____________________________________ INCUMBENT FITNESS ASSESSMENTS AT SOUTH METRO FIRE 3 Abstract The South Metro Fire Rescue Authority (SMFRA) is tasked with providing quality emergency services. In order to provide quality emergency services the authority must determine and assess the fitness levels of its membership. This allows the authority to ensure it is sending capable firefighters and emergency medical technicians to each emergency. The problem is that South Metro Fire Rescue Authority (SMFRA) has not developed a consistent fitness assessment for its firefighters that meets the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards. The purpose of this research to determine what steps need to be taken to realign SMFRA’s current assessment to meet NFPA standards. A descriptive method of research was utilized to answer the following research questions: What are the goals and requirements of the NFPA standards regarding fitness assessments? What are the deficiencies in the current incumbent fitness assessment as it relates to the NFPA standards? What are the goals of the organization for the incumbent fitness assessment? What assessments from other agencies meet the NFPA standards? The research was conducted using a review of relevant literature, personal interviews, and surveys completed by internal leaders and external fire service professionals.
