Elk Creek Fire Department

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent "What to Do in a Medical Emergency" community class at Elk Creek Fire.

We were excited to welcome 15 participants for an evening of hands-on learning focused on Stop the Bleed, hands-only CPR, AED use, and recognizing common medical emergencies. Even more encouraging, the class filled completely and generated a waiting list.

A safer, more resilient community starts with neighbors who are willing to learn how to help one another when it matters most. We are grateful to everyone who took the time to invest in those skills and in the well-being of our community.

We greatly appreciate the community's interest and support for programs like these, and we look forward to continuing to connect with residents through future educational and preparedness opportunities.

Thank you for your commitment to helping care for your fellow community members.

🔥 BIG NEWS FOR THE CONIFER AREA 🔥

Since the end of 2025, seven new Firewise USA® designations have been achieved within Planning Units across the Elk Creek Fire and Conifer Fire Districts — and that is something worth celebrating.

Please join us in congratulating these newly designated Firewise communities:

• Spring Creek Ranch
• Evergreen Meadows
• Eagle Cliff
• Doubleheader Hillview
• Murphy Gulch Planning Unit
• Silver Ranch Planning Unit – East
• Maxwell Area Community

Achieving Firewise USA® designation is not a quick or easy process. These communities have spent countless volunteer hours organizing neighbors, building local leadership, conducting wildfire risk assessments, improving defensible space, planning mitigation projects, and strengthening preparedness together.

That work matters.

These seven new designations expand a growing network of Firewise communities working within Planning Units throughout the Conifer area to reduce wildfire risk and strengthen neighborhood preparedness.

We are incredibly proud of the residents, Community Ambassadors, Planning Unit leaders, and neighborhood volunteers who helped make this happen. Community wildfire preparedness truly works best when neighbors come together.

Interested in learning more about Firewise USA®, Planning Units, mitigation projects, or preparedness efforts in your neighborhood? Visit the Elk Creek Fire or Conifer Fire website to find your Planning Unit and connect with your Community Ambassador.

Thank you for helping make our mountain communities safer, stronger, and more resilient. 👏🔥

If you did not get an Emergency Alert from Jefferson County yesterday but live in the area, please make sure you are signed up!

Emergency alert FOMO is real!

Did everyone else’s phone go wild this morning, but yours stayed suspiciously quiet?

Jeffcom 911 tested the Lookout Alert Emergency Notification System today for Jefferson County, Clear Creek County, Broomfield and Westminster.

If you did not receive the test alert, now is a good time to sign up or update your information. Lookout Alert is how emergency notifications are sent during incidents or hazardous situations that may affect your neighborhood, workplace or commute.

You can choose how you receive alerts, including text, email, voice call and the Smart911 app.

Do not let everyone else get the emergency heads-up while your phone is over there pretending it has no responsibilities.

Sign up or update your information at LookoutAlert.co or download the Smart911 app.
