Fire Protection across Arapahoe County.
Arapahoe County is where Red Rocks Fire Protection is based — our office sits in Centennial, in the middle of the county we work every day. The county runs from Aurora on the east through the Denver Tech Center and out to Littleton, and it holds some of the densest office, retail, and multi-family stock on the south metro. Three different fire departments enforce the code across that span. We keep sprinkler, alarm, extinguisher, suppression, monitoring, and backflow programs on one schedule, with every report written to the authority that actually inspects the building.
One vendor, one county
Coordinated life-safety across every Arapahoe County jurisdiction.
Arapahoe County is not one jurisdiction. A property off Arapahoe Road answers to South Metro Fire Rescue; a building in Aurora answers to Aurora Fire Rescue; a site in Littleton answers to Littleton Fire. Each department runs its own permitting, inspection cadence, and report format. A property manager with buildings in Centennial, Aurora, and Littleton is juggling three of them. We run all three under one service program, so the portfolio gets one point of contact instead of three.

Frequently asked
Fire protection in Arapahoe County — common questions.
It depends on the address. South Metro Fire Rescue covers Centennial, Greenwood Village, and the DTC; Aurora Fire Rescue covers Aurora; Littleton Fire Rescue covers Littleton, Englewood, and Sheridan. We identify the department for each property and format reports to its layout.
Yes. Our office is at 7076 S. Alton Way in Centennial, inside the county. Most of our technicians live and work on the south metro, which is why we hold a 90-minute emergency response window across Arapahoe County and the surrounding Denver metro.
Yes, and that is the reason to work across a county rather than city by city. You get one service program and one point of contact spanning all three departments, instead of a separate contractor and a separate reporting standard for each.
Yes. DTC and Greenwood Village high-rises run standpipes, fire pumps, voice evacuation, and clean-agent suppression for their data rooms. We test all of it to the NFPA cadence and coordinate after-hours work so occupied floors are not disrupted.
Per NFPA 25 and the IFC as adopted locally, wet-pipe sprinkler systems need quarterly and annual inspections plus a 5-year internal; dry systems add quarterly trip tests and a 3-year full-flow trip test. Alarm and suppression systems carry their own schedules. We track each one and notify you before it is due.
