How to Sign Up for Sugar Loaf Fire Protection District Announcements

Updated

To receive Sugar Loaf Fire Protection District (SLFPD) announcements, sign up for the [email protected] mailing list using the form linked from the Announcements section of slfpd.org. The list carries important updates from both the fire department and Friends of Sugar Loaf.

What the Announcement List Covers

The district describes the list as the channel for "important updates from the fire department and Friends of Sugar Loaf." That makes it the official way to hear from the department and its community support group without checking the website.

How to Sign Up

  1. Go to slfpd.org.
  2. Find the Announcements section on the homepage.
  3. Follow the link to the sign-up form ("filling out the form here").
  4. Complete and submit the form to join the [email protected] list.

The district does not publish the form's fields on the page, so expect to provide at least the email address where you want announcements delivered.

Who This Is For

The list is open to anyone who wants district updates, but it is especially relevant if you:

  • Live in or own property within the district's 17 square miles west of Boulder, Colorado, covering parts of CO Highway 119, Sugarloaf Road, and Magnolia Road.
  • Use the area for recreation, since the district responds to calls involving lost hikers, fallen climbers, and wildfires in the surrounding national forest and open space.
  • Want to stay informed about a department that runs on roughly 35 volunteers and handles about 120 or more emergency calls a year.

Other Ways to Stay Connected

Beyond the mailing list, the site points to two other forms of involvement:

  • Donate — the district notes that most donors can deduct 100% of a donation, with the advice to consult a tax advisor. It identifies itself as a political subdivision of the State of Colorado and a nonprofit corporation, with tax ID 84-1025520.
  • Volunteer — the department is all-volunteer, so residents interested in serving can use the volunteer option listed alongside Donate.
