Welcome to the new home of the Platte Valley Fire Protection District!

 

The Platte Valley Fire Protection District (PVFPD) was officially established in 1954 to serve the Town of Kersey, community of Gill, and the surrounding unincorporated areas in Weld County, Colorado to provide the citizens of our district with professional emergency services responding to fire, EMS, and rescue incidents as well as citizen assists, community events, fire prevention training, and more. Platte Valley Fire Protection District is considered a special district in the State of Colorado and is governed by a board of publicly elected Directors who reside within the District.

 

We welcome you to browse around and learn more about our District. Inside you will find a wealth of information for yourself, your neighbors, and your children. Please feel free to call or email us at anytime with questions you may have, or stop by the station for a visit.

New website is finally up!

 Posted Jan. 14th, 2012

 

After months of designing and developing, we are proud to announce the launch of this website! This website has many exciting features that will allow us to always keep our public informed on what is going on! Some of the features that this website has to offer are:

 

» New Featured Stories

» Accurate Representation of our Calls to Service

» A Break down of our Calls to Service for the last 10 years!

» Extensive and Current Public Information

»  Staff Information and Bio’s

» “Ask a Firefighter”

» Always updating information about the status of the construction on our new firestation

» A Gallery of all our pictures (under development currently)

» And more!

 

Some couple of things that you can expect in the future:

 

» A “Testimonial” section

» Ability to sign up for our newsletter

» A “Run Survey” for people to tell us how we operated at their emergency scene and how we can improve

» And more!

 

 

Approximately 4 months were spent planning the website. The objective for this website was to make it as easily updatable, clean looking, up-to date, and user friendly as possible. Once we figured all that out, another 6 months were spent developing the site. This website was completely custom designed, exclusively for Platte Valley Fire by Drew Perry, who is also a Lieutenant with us. Once the design was complete, it was then turned over to Team BTS who then coded the design. The new website was launched 01/13/12.

 

If you have any questions or issues with the website, please contact Drew Perry by emailing him at dperry@plattevalleyfire.org. Thank you and enjoy the website!

Fire Safety

 

Have you tested your smoke detector this month? It is recommended that you test your smoke detector every month. As for changing the batteries, try to incorporate it in with one of your other activities, such as when you change your clock for daylight savings! Properly maintained smoke detectors can be one of the best forms of notification of a deadly fire and they are one of the cheapest! If you have any other questions make sure to consult the manufacturers recommendations!
