Residents and businesses within the Larkspur Fire Protection District are assessed a mill levy which essintially is a property tax which funds our fire protection and fire prevention operations. Emergency medical services operating funds however, are not provided for by the assessed mill levy.   Maintaining an advanced life support ambulance transport service is inherently an expensive but necessary service we provide, therefore as with most special fire districts in Colorado that provide ambulance transport services, we must charge a fee to residents and non-residents who require ambulance transport.
