	Question : Why do so many Fire, Police, and Ambulance vehicles respond to an emergency?
	Answer : When a 9-1-1 call is made, a set of pre-determined responses is set in motion. These responses are designed to put all necessary resources at the scene to adequately handle the emergency.


	Question : Will the Fire Department charge me for their services?
	Answer : The services provided by the Greeley Fire Department are supported by tax dollars and, generally, no additional payment is required. Under certain circumstances, property owners may be charged for the costs incurred in the clean-up of hazardous substance spills (under State statute) and there are charges for fire alarm/sprinkler system permits. Other agencies involved in emergency response within the Department's jurisdiction may apply charges according to their own policies.


	Question : What is the code on a open fire pit in the city and near a building?

	Question : I heard that the fire department would make sure that my child's car seat was properly placed. Is this true and what number do I call?
