MVFR has earned international Accreditation by the Commission on Fire Accreditation. This means that we have voluntarily agreed to meet a standard that is significantly higher than required by the State or Federal Government.
The accreditation process reflects a comprehensive self-assessment and evaluation model that enables fire and emergency service organizations to examine their service levels and performance in a way that allows them to compare to industry best practices. This process leads to improved service delivery by helping fire departments to:
Determine community risk and safety needs.
Evaluate the performance of the department.
Establish a method for achieving continuous organizational improvement.
Internationally, there are less than 200 departments that are recognized with this achievement. We are the first in Northern Colorado to obtain this designation.
Mountain View Fire Rescue is fully committed to providing accessible facilities, elements and
channels of communication to all members of the public. As part of this commitment, Mountain View Fire Rescue
has a policy of providing an accessible website compatible with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and
commercial screen reading software. All features of the website are coded to allow individuals with vision and
other impairments to understand and use the website to the same degree as someone without disabilities. We welcome
feedback and can often resolve issues in a timely manner if they arise.
If you need any special assistance or accommodations:
Mountain View Fire Rescue has designated a compliance officer for website disability-related accommodations.
The compliance officer has received training in website accessibility and updates the site in accordance with those best
practices. Contact our accessibility officer to report an issue.
Compliance Procedures and Reports
In addition to testing with users with a wide range of disabilities and coding our website to WCAG standards,
Mountain View Fire Rescue regularly scans its website to ensure ongoing compliance, and makes timely
changes to any inaccessible changes, if any are found.
