Divide Fire is a combination paid/volunteer department.  As of January 2024, the district employs a paid Chief and two full-time paid fire technicians who are scheduled primarily during daytime hours when volunteer response may be limited.  We rely heavily on our community-based volunteer responders, including many fire-fighters and EMTs who are employed by larger districts.  Due to the nature of our combination department the number of responders and response time may vary.

DFPD participates in a mutual aid agreement with the surrounding departments. Based on the initial dispatch or on scene reports, the DFPD might put other districts on standby or request additional resources such as people, engines, brush trucks and/or tenders.
