May 17 marks the start of EMS Week, and this year’s theme is “Improving Outcomes Together.”
In Crested Butte, that idea is more than a theme, it’s how we serve our community every day.
The coordination between Gunnison Regional 911 Center, CB Marshals, Mt. Crested Butte Police, Crested Butte Search & Rescue - Mountain Rescue Team, GVH Mountain Clinic, Gunnison Valley Health, Gunnison Volunteer Fire Department and CareFlight Rockies helps ensure you receive the right response when you need it most.
We’re proud that every member of CBFPD brings advanced EMS training to the job as an EMT, AEMT, paramedic, or critical care paramedic. Thank you to all of our partners and to our community for trusting us to respond together.

Every shift at Crested Butte Fire Protection District includes a strong focus on fire and EMS training so our crews stay ready to serve the community. We’re proud to have several reserve members who work part-time with the district, bringing dedication and skill to every call and every training evolution.
This month, Training Captain Jay Bettencourt led drills on ladder deployment and rescuing survivors through windows, building confidence and sharpening critical firefighting skills.
Fun fact: in this photo, Captain Mark Voegeli is rescuing his daughter, Lillian, who is part of our Explorer group.
Thank you to everyone who came out to our Open House on May 14. We welcomed about 75–100 community members and were grateful to spend the time connecting with neighbors, friends, and partners.
A huge thank you to CareFlight Rockies, GCEA, DFPC, Gunnison Regional 911 Center, Gunnison EOC, the U.S. Forest Service and Smokey Bear, and Western Slope Towers for joining us and supporting the event.
We’re also thrilled to officially welcome Crested Butte Search & Rescue - Mountain Rescue Team into their new home. We’re thankful for the partnership, the community support, and the opportunity to serve together.
