Our Mission

UPDATE NOVEMBER 2023:

Like emergency communications, Lyons Prepared is also evolving. The volunteer group is transitioning to be a part of the LFPD Auxiliary to provide support as needed. And volunteers will continue to maintain the radio network. This is especially useful for areas in the Fire District where communications are "spotty" due to our mountainous terrain. The LFPD is seeking volunteers to participate in the Auxiliary for a variety of community-oriented education, communication, and outreach initiatives in support of the Fire District's mission. Interested citizens can apply to volunteer with the Auxiliary. Please reach out to LFPD to learn more please call the LFPD office at 303-823-6611 (Mon - Fri, 8 AM to 4 PM) or send an email to: admin@lyonsfire.org

Lyons Prepared is a volunteer citizen partnership with the Lyons Fire Protection District in the Lyons, Colorado area.

Our mission is to work with residents and visitors within the Lyons Fire Protection District to:

Support neighborhood emergency preparedness.
Strengthen our ability to communicate well during an emergency.
Enhance relationships between our fire district and surrounding communities and Boulder and Larimer County emergency planners.

For more info about the work we do, see our Lyons Prepared: An Introduction preso on the More > About Us page.
