Fire Sprinkler and Fire Alarm System Permit in Firestone, Colorado

Colorado is home-rule with no statewide fire code floor, so which authority governs fire sprinkler/alarm work in Firestone had to be independently confirmed rather than assumed. Firestone has NO Town-run fire department -- fire-code plan review, permitting, and inspection for fire alarm and fire sprinkler systems are handled directly by the Frederick-Firestone Fire Protection District (FFFPD), a special district under Title 32, C.R.S. The localAmendments and commercial-building-permit/commercial-tenant-improvement-permit entries already note that multi-family and all commercial projects require FFFPD approval (303-833-2742), but FFFPD's own direct process had not previously been documented as its own permit type. RESEARCHED 2026-08-13: every fact below was read directly from FFFPD's own 2026 Fee Schedule PDF, Application for Plan Review PDF, and Submittal Requirements for Plan Review PDF (all downloaded and read directly), not inferred or search-summarized. Carries 'verified' confidence on that basis.

When you need this permit

  • Frederick-Firestone Fire Protection District (FFFPD, 8426 Kosmerl Place, Frederick, CO 80504, 303-833-2742, fireprevention@fffd.us) is Firestone's fire-code plan-review and permitting authority for fire alarm and fire sprinkler systems -- consistent with the existing commercial-building-permit entry, which already directs multi-family and commercial submittals to FFFPD
  • FFFPD issues permits for installation of any new fire alarm or fire sprinkler system -- including fire pumps, kitchen hood suppression systems, bi-directional amplification systems, AES Radio systems, and underground fire lines -- and for any modification to an existing system, per FFFPD's own 2026 Fee Schedule
  • Fire Protection System Plan Review, Permit and Inspection Fees are assessed at 0.03 times the project value (materials and labor, as reported by the contractor), with a $300.00 minimum fee. If you are used to budgeting fire-protection review at a 0.025 rate, budget higher for work in Firestone.
  • Submission is electronic only -- thumb drive, PDF by email, or a file-sharing service such as Dropbox or Citrix -- sent directly to fireprevention@fffd.us; required items are a completed and signed FFFPD Application for Plan Review, unlocked stamped Civil/Architectural/MEP drawings, and unlocked Fire Safety System shop drawings with data/cut sheets (fire alarm, fire sprinkler, hazardous materials, kitchen hood suppression, mobile food vehicle, etc.), per FFFPD's own Submittal Requirements for Plan Review document
  • FFFPD does NOT accept deferred submittals except for Kitchen Hood Fire Suppression Systems and Commercial Paint Spray Booths -- all other fire protection systems must be part of the initial complete submittal
  • All submitted documents/drawings must be stamped by an independent Colorado-licensed Engineer, Architect, or NICET Level III designer specializing in fire protection, including a written report on how the design meets the currently adopted International Fire Code and current NFPA Standards
  • All fire suppression contractors and underground fire line installation contractors must be registered with the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control, with current registration copies provided with every submittal
  • No numeric review-timeline figure, minimum or maximum, is published anywhere in FFFPD's own Application for Plan Review form or Submittal Requirements document. If you have worked with a different Front Range fire district that states a minimum review period, do not assume the same applies here.

Inspection process

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Final Inspection

    On-site inspection of the installed fire alarm/sprinkler system by FFFPD; failed inspections are billed at the $100.00/hour rate, two-hour minimum

Tips

  • Fire sprinkler/alarm work in Firestone is reviewed entirely outside the Town's own Building Division -- submit plans directly to FFFPD (fireprevention@fffd.us, 303-833-2742), and budget for both that District review and the Town's own Building Permit or Tenant Finish Permit for the underlying construction (already documented in the commercial-building-permit and commercial-tenant-improvement-permit entries).
  • FFFPD charges 0.03 times project value for fire-system permits. Mountain View Fire Rescue, the special district serving Dacono and Erie, uses 0.025 -- don't carry a rate from one district over to the other when estimating.
  • FFFPD does not accept deferred submittals except for Kitchen Hood Fire Suppression Systems and Commercial Paint Spray Booths -- plan for every other fire protection system to be part of the complete initial submittal, not a later add-on.
  • Unlike Mountain View Fire Rescue's published 10-business-day plan-review minimum, FFFPD publishes no comparable floor or ceiling anywhere in its own materials -- budget conservatively and confirm current turnaround directly with the District.
