What's New at South Adams County Fire Department

Emergency Preparedness Tips!

Every year, wildfires burn across the U.S., and more and more people are living where wildfires are a real risk. Nearly 45 million homes abut or intermingle with wildlands and more than 72,000 U.S. communities are now at risk. But by working together residents can make their own property – and their neighborhood – much safer from wildfire.

Code Red Emergency Alert

Adams County/Commerce City Residents can subscribe to a system called 'Code Red' to inform residents in case of emergency. The system allows emergency messages to you via phone to your home phone, mobile phone and through text or email, based on your preferences. Examples of emergencies when CodeRED would be used include severe weather, public health emergencies, criminal activity, evacuation notices, fires, floods and missing person cases.

911

911 is to be used ONLY in emergency situations. An emergency is any situation that requires immediate assistance from the police/sheriff, the fire department, or an ambulance. Call 911 to stop a crime, report a fire, and save a life.

Call if You Can Text if You Can't

The Adams County Communications Center (Adcom911) has recently enabled the ability to receive 911 Text messages.

You can now reach 911 by texting 911 from a cell phone. You should only do this if you are in a situation where it is not “safe” for you to call, or you cannot call for some reason.
