The city of Littleton will continue to provide fire services to the Highlands Ranch Metropolitan District and the Littleton Fire Protection District.
The council this week approved an intergovernmental agreement with the two districts.
Highlands Ranch and the Littleton FPD looked at other potential options this year, because the city controlled all budget and personnel decisions regarding fire services.
“This is significant for our community because it assures our current excellent level of service into the future and ensures a fair distribution of the costs,” Terry Nolan, general manager of the Highlands Ranch metro district, said in a press release.
Specifics of the agreement include:
“This contract is not the end of a process; it is a tool for us to continue to work together to ensure that our constituents receive the very best fire protection and emergency medical services at a reasonable and affordable cost,” said David Oppenheim, chairman of the Littleton FPD board.
Littleton fire has provided fire rescue and emergency medical services to 220,000 people living within the three jurisdictions for more than 20 years.
