Tri-Lakes Monument Fire

The Monument Volunteer Fire Department (MVFD) was founded in the late 1930's. In the mid 1970's, the developers of the Woodmoor Subdivision convinced the Town of Monument to create a full time, paid fire department which became the Woodmoor-Monument Fire Protection District (WMFPD). The boundaries for the new District were the same as the Woodmoor Water and Sanitation District and the Monument Water Department.

Tri-Lakes Monument Fire Protection District is supported by the El-Paso Teller County E911 Authority. When you call 911, your call is routed to the El Paso County Sheriff 9-1-1 Center where the call information is taken and appropriate units are dispatched to the incident. Remember, the questions listed below are only a few of the questions you may be asked by an emergency calltaker.

Our firefighters are always ready - day or night - dedicated to serving the citizens of our communities and beyond with character, connection, and a commitment to excellence. Whether a medical aid, fire, natural disaster, or other calls for service, our firefighters come highly trained and knowledgeable to handle your emergency.

We will accomplish our mission through a progressive and professional system of personnel development, public education, fire suppression, code enforcement, medical services, and rescue skills. We will actively participate in our community, serve as role models, and strive to effectively and efficiently utilize all of the necessary resources at our command to provide a service deemed excellent by our citizens.

We utilize a community approach to reducing the loss of life and property by assessing the risk posed to our district. We identify steps at a community level to reduce the risk and minimize the event's severity to our citizens and their property. Current areas we have identified are public education, code enforcement, wildfire mitigation, and numerous other emerging topics.
