MESA COUNTY, Colo.- Ten of the 11 fire departments in Mesa County will hold a series of meetings to examine how fire operations can be improved.

Fire officials say members of the public are encouraged to attend the meetings and provide input. "We would really like to hear from the public to hear what they know about their local fire service, some ideas they may have that they think would improve our services and any ideas they have for the future," said Ken Watkins, president of the Mesa County Fire Chief's Association.

The first of the three meetings will take place Tuesday night at the Fruita Civic Center located at 325 E. Aspen Ave. from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m.

Fire officials say after all three meetings, a final presentation of the study results will take place in September.

Final Two Meetings:

July 24
7-9 p.m.
Palisade Community Center, 120 W. Eighth Street
"Future System Projections"

August 21
7-9 p.m.
Clifton Fire Station, 3254 F Road
"Opportunities for Shared Services"
