Today, Chief Weisbaum and Volunteer Assistant Chief Reily, with help from C-Shift, conducted hands-on training with Crested Butte Explorers Post 0911.
Twelve Explorers trained on the forcible entry prop, search techniques in a smoke-filled environment, and air consumption drills. They worked hard, learned a lot, and did an outstanding job throughout the day.
We are also sharing photos of our departing senior Explorers. Thank you for the commitment, enthusiasm, and hard work you have brought to Post 0911. We are proud of each of you and look forward to seeing what comes next.
Please join us in welcoming the new Explorer Post officers:
Chief: Lilian Vogeli
Assistant Chief: Micah Hanson
Captain: Haley Roberts
Lieutenant: Madalyn Fitzgerald
Social Media/Public Outreach: Katie Maltby
Congratulations to the new officers, and great work to all of the Explorers who trained today.

Our CBFPD Type 1 Engine has returned home safely from the Elk Fire after serving as part of the Lake City Task Force alongside Vail Fire, Ridgway Fire, and Poudre Fire Authority.
The task force was assigned to provide point protection and Type 1 engine suppression support for the Town of Lake City. Fortunately, those structure-protection resources were not needed.
Pictured are CBFPD and Poudre Fire Authority personnel during a scouting hike, conducting reconnaissance of spot fires above Lake City in Division G.
We are proud to support our neighboring communities and work alongside exceptional fire agencies when called.

This crew are representing CBFPD as they assist neighboring agencies with this incident. Supporting our partners when resources are needed is a core part of the fire service, strengthening the regional response network that our community may rely on in the future.
This deployment does not affect emergency coverage, staffing, or equipment availability within the Crested Butte Fire Protection District. We remain fully prepared to respond to fire, medical, rescue, and all-hazards incidents throughout the district.
