The LFRA serves approximately 109,000 residents in its district. This total swells during the year with tourists and outdoor enthusiasts. As Loveland and the surrounding region experiences significant growth, LFRA continues to provide exceptional emergency response. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with the growing need. Since 2012, the full-time population of the region served has increased 18%. With regional growth in our city, threats from fire and other emergencies also grow exponentially.
