The Fort Lupton Fire Protection District (FLFPD) is a combination fire department dedicated to delivering high-quality emergency services to the citizens of Fort Lupton, Colorado, and surrounding rural areas. Our department responds to a wide range of incidents including structure fires, wildland fires, emergency medical calls, hazardous materials situations, technical rescues, and public service emergencies.
We operate out of multiple stations with a team of career and volunteer personnel who are committed to safety, professionalism, and continuous improvement. Fort Lupton Fire emphasizes training, community risk reduction, and strong mutual aid relationships to ensure we meet the evolving needs of the region.
Whether we’re responding to an emergency or engaging with the community through education and outreach programs, our mission remains the same: to protect lives, property, and the environment with courage, compassion, and integrity.
Fort Lupton Fire Department — Honest Review from a Former Employee
I’ll keep it brief and to the point. As an ex-employee, here’s what I have to say:
• The fire chief has been in place far too long, and it shows. Leadership feels stagnant and resistant to change.
• Pay is solid, and most of the equipment is relatively modern, though some key tools and upgrades are still missing.
• There is no overtime offered, regardless of staffing shortages. The department would rather run short than call people in — even if that puts the safety of the community and responders at risk.
Plenty of good people still work there, but the culture and leadership need a serious reset.
