Laura Hefta Parker Town Council Member Parker, Colorado

Residents of Parker enjoy the services of a semi regional Fire Department, that being South Metro Fire Rescue.  Parker does not have its own Fire Department. Remember, during fire season, (approximately May thru September) keep your property clear of dry vegetation, create a defensible space around your home, and have an evacuation plan ready. Always heed local fire warnings and never leave outdoor fires unattended. These steps are crucial in preventing wildfires and protecting lives and properties.

Code Red - Emergency Notification signup- The Douglas County Emergency Telephone Service Authority decided earlier this year to go with a different notification provider. After requesting proposals from a variety of providers, CodeRED rose to the top. The authority, which is funded by a monthly 70 cent phone surcharge on all cell phones and landlines within the county, will pay for the system.

CodeRED alerts may be implemented in situations such as police activity in the area, wildfires or other emergency incidents. However, the system does not include weather alerts. The Town encourages our residents to stay tuned to weather radios and local media for information during severe weather.
