About East Grand Fire Protection District
East Grand Fire Protection District was formed in 1968. At that time, we had metal buildings for stations with a couple of trucks and a handful of vehicles at each station. Sixteen years later we moved into our current locations at Highway 40 in Fraser and 60 County Road 526 in Tabernash.
Transparency
In an effort to promote transparency, meeting minutes and agendas as well as the EGFPD Special District Transparency Information is available. Please visit the Transparency page for more information.
East Grand Fire Protection District Resident Program
A unique feature of the East Grand Fire Department is our Resident Program. We have living quarters at both our Headquarters and Tabernash Stations. Resident Firefighters reside at both the H.Q. Station and in Tabernash. These Resident Firefighters maintain the apparatus and buildings as well as respond to incidents in exchange for living quarters. It is a department goal to have our fire trucks going out the door inside three minutes. The Residents provide systems and equipment maintenance critical to our I.S.O. Rating as well as allow us credit for full time firefighters at a fraction of the cost.
Impact Fees
An impact fee is a one-time charge for new development that attempts to recover the cost incurred by local government in providing the public facilities required to serve new development. For current impact fees and more details, visit the Impact Fee page.

Current Fire Danger
Kitchen Hood Replacement Program a Success!!
Over the last decade, our local restaurants were faced with the financial burden of updating their kitchen fire suppression systems to meet changing fire safety standards. East Grand Fire wanted to help lessen this costly expense for our local restaurants so thus created the Commercial Kitchen Safety Incentive Program. This provided up to a $500.00 grant to help the with required replacement of antiquated kitchen hood fire suppression systems in the East Grand Fire Protection District.
We are pleased to say that, to date, East Grand Fire was able to help 11 establishments with the required upgrade to their hood systems. The project is now being completed and East Grand Fire is very happy to have been able to be a part of this important life safety and property preservation enhancing project for our community.
