Meet our team: Maggie McIntosh
Maggie was born and raised in California and grew up in a big family with five sisters and one brother. She spent many years volunteering with a local Mountain Rescue Team, building a strong foundation of service and a love for helping others.
In 2020, Maggie and her partner Dave visited Crested Butte on a mountain biking road trip and quickly fell in love with the area. They moved to Crested Butte in November 2021, and Maggie began looking for a way to get involved and serve the community. That search led her to the Crested Butte Fire Protection District volunteer program, and she joined in March 2022.
Since joining CB Fire, Maggie has completed Fire Academy and earned her EMT certification. She now works as an EMT with GVH in the Emergency Department and Mountain Clinic, and also serves part-time with Crested Butte Fire. She loves being part of the team and giving back to the community she now calls home.
When she’s not working, Maggie enjoys dirt biking, mountain biking, snowboarding, hiking, and adventuring with her dog Cali.
Go Maggie!!
