FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 7, 2020

Mountain View Fire Rescue and Rocky Mountain Fire District have initiated an agreement to formally merge the two fire Districts. The merged District will encompass approximately 85,000 residents covering over 250 square miles. The city of Dacono, towns of Erie, Mead, and Superior as well as unincorporated portions of Boulder, Jefferson, and Weld Counties currently covered by Mountain View Fire Rescue and Rocky Mountain Fire District will all be provided fire and rescue service by Mountain View Fire Rescue.
Emergency Services Consulting Incorporated (ESCI) was retained to conduct a feasibility study of a proposed merger. The feasibility study evaluated existing services, assets, and capabilities, and examined potential opportunities for shared efficiencies and compatibilities. ESCI analyzed issues needing addressed prior to or as a result of joining the two fire districts. Staff from both Districts worked with ESCI to complete the initial survey of existing operations. The results of the feasibility study were presented in October 2019 to the staff and Boards of each respective District and indicated a merge would be beneficial to both organizations.
The proposed merged Fire District will provide a more robust and efficient response capability as well as allow the enhancement of emergency planning activities, prevention, and education. Cost sharing and long-term financial planning are additional functions that may be realized as a beneficial outcome of the merger.
The Boards of both Fire Districts have voted and approved staff continuing with the steps necessary to merge. An executive leadership team formed by leaders from both agencies is working to identify all necessary steps and needs for the merger to be completed. The professional labor unions for both Districts support the merger and continue to work closely with District leaders to develop the framework of the combined District. Community input and informational engagement sessions will be scheduled in the near future as formal details are finalized. For up to date information District residents, stakeholders and media should visit the websites and social media sites for each District. Phone calls are always welcome and encouraged.

Yesterday was my final day as a Trustee for the Town of Erie. The past 6 years as a Board member has been an amazing experience. I met, worked with, and learned from so many wonderful residents, staff members, board members, business owners, and community leaders. While public service is not always easy, this experience is one that I will never forget and will appreciate for the rest of my life. It has truly been an honor and a privilege to serve the Town of Erie and I will continue to support our wonderful community in any way that I can. Thank you to everyone who has supported and challenged me over the years.

Suspected Police Impersonator
EPD advises 'Trust Your Instincts'

Erie, Colorado. On March 27, 2020 at approximately 9 a.m., the Erie Police Department was alerted to a possible police impersonation earlier this morning. On her way to work at 7 a.m., an adult female driver was instructed to pull over by a black vehicle with flashing emergency lights on E. County Line Road near Moffat Street. A male, unknown physical description, contacted the female driver and advised her she was being stopped for a headlight violation. He did not ask for her license or vehicle paperwork, but asked where she was going. When she advised him her place of employment he told her to return home due to the Stay-At-Home Order. The male then reportedly followed her to her nearby residence before leaving the area.

The Erie Police Department, and Boulder County agencies confirmed there were no traffic stops conducted on E. County Line Road by Erie Police Department or Boulder County law enforcement in this time period.

Trust your instincts. In the event you find yourself questioning a traffic stop, call 911, turn on your hazard lights, continue driving (ideally to the nearest police or fire station) and tell 911 what is happening. Follow the instructions of the dispatchers, who will be able to determine if the stop is legitimate.
