Compliance with adopted Fire Code

The City of Cripple Creek is committed to delivering 100% compliance with our adopted Fire Code (International Fire Code 2018). As of September 1, 2023, the Cripple Creek Fire Department has established a relationship with The Compliance Engine by Brycer that allows us to track and streamline the collection of compliance data relating to Fire Protection Systems within our jurisdiction. This cloud-based system allows us to send out notifications to Property Owners or Business Owners to let them know when their systems are due for inspection, and any outstanding non-compliant issues in relation to their Fire Protection Systems. Business owners may receive correspondence from our department through this system from the Cripple Creek Fire Department with  Brycer’s Boulder, Colorado address. Any questions should be directed to the Fire Chief.
