A special thank you and shout out to Tara Sweitzer for hosting a Pit Crew CPR refresher for our crews. Training opportunities like this help ensure our firefighters and first responders stay prepared, confident, and ready to respond when our community needs us most.
Pit Crew CPR uses a team‑based approach to cardiac arrest response where each responder has a clearly defined role, similar to a racing pit crew. This system helps reduce interruptions in chest compressions, improves efficiency on scene, and increases the quality of care delivered to patients.
Happy International Women’s Day.
At Crested Butte Fire Protection District, women serve in many vital roles, from firefighters and EMTs to administrative and support staff. Their dedication, strength, and compassion make our department stronger every day. They respond to emergencies, support our community, and inspire the next generation of women in the fire service.
Fire and emergency services have traditionally been male‑dominated fields, but the women serving in departments across the country continue to break barriers, lead with excellence, and demonstrate that courage and commitment know no gender.
Today we thank and celebrate the women of CBFPD and women in fire service everywhere. Your service, leadership, and resilience make a lasting difference in our community.
