The Longmont Department of Public Safety has a number of facilities:

• Safety and Justice Building
• Longmont Police and Boulder County Sheriff’s Office Firing Range
• Fire Stations (six)
• Fire Training Center

Being a Good Neighbor

City staff understands that when people are told a fire station is in their neighborhood, the first thought is often concern about sirens and truck noise. Historically, the addition of a fire station has very little impact.  Persons living closest to a fire station may actually perceive less noise as the fire trucks will always be heading away from them, instead of coming towards them from a more remote location. Fire trucks do not operate their sirens every time they leave the building. The need for a siren is based on the urgency of the call and the amount of traffic they face.

The crews work 48-hour shifts so shift change only occurs every other day. A typical shift change has three employees arriving and three departing. There are few visitors or deliveries. Otherwise, the only traffic is the fire truck coming and going on calls and errands.

The City of Longmont, Department of Public Safety will make every effort to blend into the area and be good neighbors.

We invite your concerns and comments.
