Dial 911 first!

If it's a fire, explain that you are in the Lyons Fire Protection District (especially if you live in Larimer County).

If you are calling from a cell phone, you may reach dispatch in another county. Be sure to tell them where you are calling from.

Provide:

  • The location of the fire or emergency.

  • Your name, address and phone number.

2 - Emergency Notification System (ENS)

Everyone can sign up to receive messages about imminent threats and hazards. It takes just a couple of minutes, and you can choose how you want to receive the info: landline, mobile, text, etc.
