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.
