System Down Reporting and Firewatch

Any time a fire alarm or sprinkler system is compromised you must notify Denver Fire Department, through the System Down Reporting Website. If a system is down for longer than 10 hours, a Firewatch Permit is required. Please read all of the information below related to this process. 

• Click on the System Down Reporting Website link and enter all required information. .
• Next, inform your system monitoring company that the system is down. If an AES (American Electronic Services) box is applicable - report the system offline and contact the DFD Non-Emergency Dispatch line at 720-913-2400 and inform them that the system is down. 
• Once the system has been down for 10 hours, you will be notified by a Fire Prevention Officer that you are required to apply for a Firewatch Permit. Firewatch is required after the 10-hour time frame. Once a Firewatch Permit has been obtained, you will no longer need to continue daily reporting to the System Down website. 
• Firewatch Permits can be initiated once approval is obtained from a Fire Prevention Officer, please apply via E-Permits - Accela Citizen Access. 
• Once the system is back online,  notify the Denver Fire Department via the System Down Reporting Website. 

For additional questions please contact Fire Prevention at 720-913-3474. Outside of business hours please contact Fire Prevention at DFDSystemDownNotification@denvergov.org

Please open the referenced documents for more information, for documentation, and to apply for firewatch permits.

The Civilian Ride-Along Program with the Denver Fire Department has been suspended while the Department revises its process.  Denver Fire recognizes that the Ride-Along program is a valuable part of recruitment and public relations efforts.  Revising the Ride-Along Program will strengthen policies and procedures and ensure the continued success of the program.

During the revision process, Ride-Along’s will be made available for current members of Denver Fire’s Candidate Apprenticeship Program (CAP) and Denver Fire Cadets.

Additional information on the new parameters for the Ride-Along Program will be made available the second quarter of 2020.
