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.

🔥 Love these ladies! 🔥
Crested Butte Fire Protection District is proud to see our CEO, Sean Caffrey, advocating for the future of emergency medical services across Colorado. Earlier this week, Sean testified before the Colorado House of Representatives Health and Human Services Committee in support of HB26-1238, a bill that would designate Emergency Medical Services (EMS) as an Essential Service in the State of Colorado.
Sponsored by Representative Dusty Johnson (R – Fort Morgan) and Representative Meghan Lukens (D – Steamboat Springs), the bill recognizes the critical role EMS providers play in communities throughout the state—especially in rural and mountain regions like ours.
Sean joined colleagues from the EMS Association of Colorado to share the perspective of rural providers. Crested Butte Fire Protection District has provided ambulance service to our community since 1975, and as Sean explained to legislators, EMS often serves as the front door to emergency healthcare in remote communities. Designating EMS as an essential service is a key step toward ensuring rural areas across Colorado continue to have access to high-quality emergency care and timely ambulance response.
We are pleased to share that HB26-1238 passed out of committee with unanimous support (13–0). A strong signal that state leaders recognize and value the vital work performed by EMS professionals every day.
Please join us in thanking Sean for representing our community and advocating for the future of EMS across Colorado.
Thanks for the representation!
Great work Sean!!!!
Thanks Sean!
