Interesting, but not terribly surprising. I've heard many complaints that fire is the "bastard child" at Jeffco dispatch.

I assume the only remaining mountain department left if the agencies listed in the linked article join would be Genesee Fire?

What "radio upgrades" are they talking about? Does this refer to dispatch consoles, microwave links or the like?? (I assume their not talking about subscriber radios...)

And Golden Gate.

Interesting they show a picture at Jefferson County Admin? Isn't that in Golden's district who wouldn't be affect?

Here's a brief update...

"The Mountain Dispatch project has been funded by JCECA for the surrounding district at 100% in 2014, 75% in 2015, 50% in 2016 and 25% in 2017. The intent is to allow these agencies time to work the cost into their department&#8217;s budget. Right now Elk Creek, Inter-Canyon, Indian Hills, Foothills and North Fork have committed to the project. Genesee, Highland Rescue and Golden Gate have not committed."

"The Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) for the regionalization of dispatch has been reviewed by legal and sent to the neighboring districts for input."

It sounds like "Evergreen" is now dispatching for Foothills FD. In the last few weeks the Foothills DTR channel has been very active.
