Golder Ranch Fire District (GRFD) prides itself on providing the highest level of service to the members of the district. GRFD has created a set of standards that reflect the high level of services provided. These standards can be found in both the Mission and Values Statement.

I would not be the man or probationary firefighter I am today without them. My parents demonstrated ADIRECT ever since I could remember. Everything I know about character and morals is because of them. My parents always told me to be proud of my work and give full effort because at the end of the day I’m not only representing myself, but the Alderete name
