The Vail Public Safety Communications Center (VPSCC) has deployed a new virtual assistant for non-emergency calls. The system instantly answers the center's non-emergency line at 970-479-2200 and handles routine calls for service so telecommunicators can stay focused on 911 calls.

VPSCC handles emergency communications for nearly all of Eagle County. In 2025, the center answered more than 100,000 calls, but only 28,000 were 911 emergencies. The other 72,000 calls were non-emergency requests that took telecommunicators away from emergency operations.

The center has selected AVA, a virtual assistant from the company Aurelian, to answer non-emergency calls with zero-second hold times and conduct natural conversations in over 55 languages across voice, text and web chat. It collects incident information, creates calls for service directly in the center's dispatch system, and monitors every conversation for signs of an emergency. When AVA detects an emergency, it immediately transfers the call to a live telecommunicator.

Seasonal spikes in population and call volume exacerbate an already challenging environment for the Vail Public Safety Communications Center. AVA not only helps the center serve the county’s fluctuating demand, but it also allows visitors to call in over several languages without straining the team.

"This system will help ensure our telecommunicators are available for 911 calls while every non-emergency call for service still gets attention," said Zak Sheets, director of VPSCC. "We serve a community of 55,000 that can more than double during peak seasons. This gives our team the bandwidth to focus on emergency calls."

News Release: 9.1.26 - Stage 1 Fire Restrictions Implemented in Eagle County
Eagle County, Colo. - Eagle County will be lowering fire restrictions from Stage 2 to Stage 1, effective at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, September 4, 2026.

After careful consultation with our state and federal partners and wildfire experts, the Eagle County Sheriff has determined that current conditions no longer warrant Stage 2 fire restrictions.

We strongly encourage everyone to remain alert and continue practicing responsible fire safety to safeguard our community and the surrounding environment.

The restrictions that will be implemented and remain in place until further notice are;
-Campfires are only allowed within designated fire grates in developed campgrounds (i.e., a metal, in-ground containment structure -- fire pans and rock campfire rings are not acceptable). Liquid or gas-fueled stoves and outdoor fireplaces with shut-off valves may be utilized in areas with at least 15’ of clearance to combustibles.
-No fires of any type, including charcoal, outside of developed areas.
-No smoking except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site or in a barren area free of vegetation.
-No use of explosive materials, including explosive targets.
-No welding or operation of an acetylene or other similar torch with open flame, or any other spark-producing device, except from an area that has been cleared of vegetation and with a fire suppression device.
-No operation of any internal combustion engine without a spark-arresting device properly installed and in working order.
-No personal fireworks.
-Outdoor recreational shooting is permitted only in pre-approved, designated areas.

We’d like to remind both our residents and visitors that you are the first line of defense against wildland fires. Your vigilance and care help protect the landscapes we all love. Thank you for doing your part to keep Eagle County safe.
