Crested Butte Fire Protection District is proud to see our CEO, Sean Caffrey, advocating for the future of emergency medical services across Colorado. Earlier this week, Sean testified before the Colorado House of Representatives Health and Human Services Committee in support of HB26-1238, a bill that would designate Emergency Medical Services (EMS) as an Essential Service in the State of Colorado.
Sponsored by Representative Dusty Johnson (R – Fort Morgan) and Representative Meghan Lukens (D – Steamboat Springs), the bill recognizes the critical role EMS providers play in communities throughout the state—especially in rural and mountain regions like ours.
Sean joined colleagues from the EMS Association of Colorado to share the perspective of rural providers. Crested Butte Fire Protection District has provided ambulance service to our community since 1975, and as Sean explained to legislators, EMS often serves as the front door to emergency healthcare in remote communities. Designating EMS as an essential service is a key step toward ensuring rural areas across Colorado continue to have access to high-quality emergency care and timely ambulance response.
We are pleased to share that HB26-1238 passed out of committee with unanimous support (13–0). A strong signal that state leaders recognize and value the vital work performed by EMS professionals every day.
Please join us in thanking Sean for representing our community and advocating for the future of EMS across Colorado.
Thanks for the representation!
Great work Sean!!!!

‼️ Big News for EMS in Colorado! EMSAC - Emergency Medical Services Association of Colorado
We’re thrilled to share that HB26‑1238, the bill to make Emergency Medical Services (EMS) an essential service, just passed unanimously (13‑0) out of the Colorado House Health & Human Services Committee!
Even more exciting — our CEO, Sean Caffrey, has been actively involved in this important effort, helping represent the voices of EMS providers and rural communities like ours.
Right now, EMS isn’t officially considered an essential service in Colorado, meaning local governments aren’t required to provide or fund it. This bill would change that — ensuring every community has access to dependable emergency medical care when it’s needed most.
Next stop: the Colorado House Floor!
Stay tuned for updates, and follow EMSAC (Emergency Medical Services Association of Colorado) for more information.
💙 Thank you for supporting the people who answer the call when it matters most!
