The Board of Directors of the Los Pinos Fire Protection District would like to express our sincere appreciation for the support and trust of our communities and the constituents that live within our district.

During the attempted recall of the board and internal investigation processes over the past several months, it was a difficult time for the fire district, and we thank all of the staff for their dedication and professionalism to perform their duties while these processes took place. 

We want to reassure our community that the Los Pinos Fire District is committed to the safety, mission and goals of the district in providing the community the professional quality of services we have provided for the past 32 years. Your fire district has many challenges ahead, but we assure everyone that we are moving forward in a positive manner and have begun the search for a new fire chief and anticipate having a new chief in the next few months.

Retired Chief Larry Behrens has provided the district with his invaluable guidance and leadership during this period. Chief Behrens has served in this capacity as a volunteer and the board, the district employees and community members are deeply appreciative of his unselfish service. 

We are committed to unite with our line staff and their leadership to serve each and every one of you at the time of your greatest need. 

Once again, “thank you” for your continued trust and support. 

Respectfully,

James Brown, Kirk Becker, Paul Blocker, Frank Weis, Mark Williams
