Crested Butte Fire Protection District extends our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and fellow firefighters of the three wildland firefighters who lost their lives while battling the Knowles and Gore fires near the Colorado-Utah border.
The fire service is a family, and today we mourn alongside the U.S. Wildland Fire Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and wildland firefighters across the country. These brave men and women answered the call to protect others and made the ultimate sacrifice while doing so.
We also keep the injured crew members, their families, and their teammates in our thoughts as they continue their recovery.
May we never forget the sacrifice of those who gave their lives serving their communities and protecting our lands.
C Shift Response: Possible Stroke: West Maroon Trailhead
Yesterday, Crested Butte Fire Protection District was dispatched for a possible stroke near the West Maroon Trailhead in Schofield Park. Crews rendezvoused with CareFlight Rockies, and the patient was transported for additional medical care.
Always call 911 right away if you notice sudden face drooping, arm weakness, speech trouble, or severe sudden dizziness.
We’re grateful for our partners and the teamwork that helps get patients to definitive care as quickly as possible.
Service Above Self Award- Crested Butte Rotary Club.
We’re proud to once again recognize Lilian Voegeli, one of our Crested Butte Fire Protection District Explorers.
Lilian’s nomination letter highlights a remarkable pattern of service, showing up for her community with dedication, selflessness, and strong leadership, both in and out of school.
Over the past few years, Lilian has volunteered with the CBFPD Explorer Post, and continues to contribute beyond her time with us. Her nomination also notes involvement with Rotary Interact, school mentoring, helping prepare lunches for Adaptive Sports, and volunteering with Mountain Roots to pack holiday food boxes.
In June, Lilian will be attended Camp Ember, a 3-day firefighting training program for young women that builds skills and provides mentorship opportunities to grow into stronger leaders.
Lilian’s commitment reflects the true meaning of Service Above Self, giving her time and energy to others without needing recognition. We are honored to support her journey and excited to see the leadership she will continue to bring to our community.
