The Crested Butte Fire Protection District is saddened to learn of the passing of Thom Swan, who, alongside his wife Shiloh, helped lead our EMS division in the mid-to-late 1980s.
Thom and Shiloh were dedicated paramedics and an important part of our district’s history. We are grateful for their service and the care they gave to our community. After leaving Crested Butte, they made a life in Alaska, where they shared a love of sled-dog racing.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Thom’s family, friends, and former colleagues. He will be remembered with gratitude and respect.

September brought 74 calls for service across the Crested Butte Fire Protection District: 46 EMS responses and 28 fire calls.
Shoulder season generally brings a decrease in call volume, giving crews time to focus on equipment maintenance and continued training while staying ready to respond. September’s EMS calls most often involved chest pain, pain due to injury, and head injuries. Fire calls were mostly false alarms, followed by public service calls, citizen assists, and gas leaks.
Calls by area:
Town of Crested Butte: 22
Mt. Crested Butte: 29
CB South: 5
County: 18
Thank you to our crews for their ongoing work and to our community for your support.
