The community’s fire protection district
The Boulder Heights landscape means the community can feel the effects of extreme weather. “We get more weather up here than in town since the top of Boulder Heights is about 3,000 feet higher,” Duncan says. Piles of snow and fallen trees from thunderstorms can be hard to navigate on dirt roads that don’t get cleared quickly. The area’s natural landscape can also come with environmental challenges. Boulder Heights is at a possible risk of wildfires, which is why the Boulder Mountain Fire Protection District (BMFPD) has a station in the neighborhood. The district is comprised of over 50 volunteer firefighters and emergency medical personnel. Additionally, Station Two provides outreach and educational opportunities that spark community engagement.
On Overlook Lane you'll find a newly renovated fire house supported by the community and city.
