Today marks Mike Riley’s last day as Chief Marshal with the Crested Butte Marshal’s Office, closing an incredible 29 years of dedicated service to our community.
We are proud of the commitment, leadership, and care Mike has shown to Crested Butte over nearly three decades. His career in public safety also includes six years with the New Orleans Police Department, further reflecting his deep experience and dedication to service. If you see him out and about today, please take a moment to thank him and wish him well on his retirement from CBMO.
While he is retiring from the Marshal’s Office, Mike’s service to Crested Butte continues. He has devoted 23 years to the Crested Butte Fire Protection District, where he serves as a Volunteer Assistant Chief. He remains actively involved as Assistant Chief of the Reserve Program, advisor to Explorer Post 0911, an extrication enthusiast, fire investigator, and now our Safety Officer.

Wow! Is this real? Was this the emergency that held up the RTA busses yesterday? I was there. Knew something was going on. But someone said it was a false alarm?

Warmer and drier than normal weather, combined with strong winds, means wildfire risk is already a concern in our area.
This photo shows a community member putting out an unattended campfire at Hartman Rocks. We appreciate people stepping up to help protect the public lands we all care about.
The open spaces around Crested Butte are something we hold dear, and protecting them starts with simple actions. If you build a campfire, never leave it unattended and make sure it is completely out before you leave—drown it, stir it, and feel for heat.
This is just the beginning of the season. With dry conditions and wind, a small mistake can have big consequences. Let’s look out for one another and do our part to protect the places we love.
