Mountain View Fire Rescue and Rocky Mountain Fire District officially merged Friday and officials say there will be no change in service for residents served by both agencies.
The district will operate under the name Mountain View Fire Rescue.
The two entities worked over the past year to make the union go as smoothly as possible, Michelle Kelly, spokeswoman for the district, said in an email. A consultant study in 2019 said the merger would make operations more efficient and reduce duplication of services, according to the Mountain View Fire Rescue website. “The citizens of Mountain View Fire Rescue will continue receiving the same quality of care from highly trained and qualified individuals,” Kelly said in her email. “Over the next year firefighters will begin cross-training in areas of the district that may be new to them. “
