First Responder Service

Funding

The Colorado Centre Metropolitan District is committed to the safety of our residents and communities. In 2009 CCMD re-opened our local fire station at 4770 Horizonview Drive and staffed it with two full-time, paid firefighters available on a 24/7 rotation, bringing our maximum response time down to less than 4 minutes!

The CCMD First Responder Service is funded by a $22.00 monthly service charge paid by our residential and commercial customers.

Additionally, CCMD maintains an agreement with the Colorado Springs Fire Department as the principal source of fire and emergency services protection within the CCMD. CCMD provides a fire engine in exchange for service from CSFD. This engine is housed at Station 11, approximately 12 minutes away from CCMD.

The Colorado Centre Fire Department received an ISO PPC classification of 2/2x.

ISO’s Public Protection Classifications

(PPCs) are important to communities because most U.S. insurers use PPC information to determine the premiums it charges their policyholders. Communities whose PPC improves may get lower insurance premiums for residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

The CCMD Water System includes a 3MG tank, 350 GPM water production, and booster, 1200 GPM booster, static pressure with CCMD 70 psi to 90 psi, smallest diameter line 8”, fire hydrants located at one within 250’ and two within 400’ maximum of each property.

Fire Engine Capabilities include 1250 GPM and 4 air protection devices.
