MOUNTAIN VIEW FIRE RESCUE

Fire department gets reaccreditation nod

After completing a self-assessment and peer review, Mountain View Fire Rescue, which covers 250 square miles, including Boulder, Dacono, Erie, Mead, Niwot, Superior and unincorporated areas of Boulder and Weld counties, has been recommended for reaccreditation by a team from the national Center for Public Safety Excellence.

The accreditation renewal is expected to become official in April, according to MVFR spokesman Rick Tillery.

In the process, MVFR workers described every aspect of the organization and then submitted a self-assessment for a peer review. The fire department also outlined plans for improvement in areas where it did not meet CPSE requirements, according to the Center for Public Safety Excellence.

The self-assessment contained 250 individual performance indicators across 11 categories that help define compliance, according to the Center for Public Safety Excellence. When a department finishes the assessment, it is reviewed by a team of professionals who represent a range of other fire departments who have been recognized by the Commission on Fire Accreditation.
