The
Fort Collins Interagency Dispatch Center (FTC) is one of ten
Interagency Dispatch Centers in the Rocky Mountain Area. The
purpose of the FTC is to manage wildland fires and the mobilization
of wildland firefighting resources in the Northern Front Range
and Northeast Colorado. The Northern Colorado Front Range
Wildfire Cooperators (NFRWC) Board of Directors is made up
of representatives from the Arapaho and Roosevelt National
Forests, Rocky Mountain National Park, the US Fish and Wildlife
Service, the Colorado State Forest Service, Boulder County,
Larimer County, the City of Boulder Fire Department, and Poudre
Fire Authority. The NFRWC advises the FTC Interagency Dispatch
Center on matters of wildland fire management and cooperation.
Numerous Volunteer Fire Departments and Fire Protection Districts
in the Northern Front Range and Northeast Colorado participate
in local, regional, and national interagency wildland fire
management through the FTC Zone Dispatch.
As you survey this website, it will become obvious that it
is technical in design and is primarily for use by local and
geographic area wildland fire managers and firefighters. For
the general public, this website may not meet your needs.

Fire News website, provided by the National
