To all Crested Buttians and visitors alike,
I want to thank you for understanding and your willingness to follow the directions that have been recommended by the CDC to any who are potentially sick caused by influenza or COVID-19.
Our first responders are grateful to you for isolating yourselves for long periods of time, surely not an easy task. The health of our responders allow us to still perform our duties to our community without the risk of exposing others while maintaining the level of service we provide by maintaining our health.
As many have stated, these are difficult times and as a community we must support each other until this passes and becomes a distant memory. The overwhelming support I see here is inspiring and filled with loved. We as CBFPD will do our part to remain diligent, follow smart practices and communicate to the public and provide rescue services to you.

I want to thank all the stakeholders and partners we have in the valley and surrounding areas that are working tirelessly to provide you with plans to beat this - and we will. We will be there for you 24/7/365. Be patient, stay strong, understanding and supportive. Thank you all.
