Estes Valley Fire Protection District The Estes Valley Fire Protection District continues the tradition of superior fire and safety services established more than a century ago in Estes Park.

The Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department was established in 1907. It remained an all-volunteer organization until 2010, when the first paid fire chief was hired. The establishment of a fire district gained voter approval in 2009 and the Estes Valley Fire Protection District (EVFPD) became the governing body for fire and rescue services on January 1, 2010. Volunteer firefighters and paid district staff proudly continue the tradition of providing superior fire and safety services that was established more than a century ago. The district encompasses 66 square miles including the town of Estes Park, CO. Although Rocky Mountain National Park is outside the district's boundaries, an agreement is in place for EVFPD to provide fire suppression services for structural fires and motor vehicle accident assistance in the park on the east side of the continental divide.

Parents, we've got to tell you you're raising your kids right. We enjoyed career day on Wednesday with the high school and middle school students. Our takeaways:

-They are ENGAGED: we heard thoughtful and engaging questions.
-They are INFORMED, demonstrating wildfire safety in our community.
-They want to SERVE: there was genuine interest in exploring work in medicine, firefighting, public service, or wildland firefighting.

If you have a young person who's looking to build a career in fire, have them check out our explorer program to get some real-world experience with public service jobs.

Last night, our Fire Academy students had the opportunity to demonstrate the skills and techniques they've learned over the past 12 weeks for their friends and family. It's a great opportunity for loved ones to see firsthand the hard work they've put into their training.

A special thank you to our staff, volunteers, and outside instructors. We look forward to seeing what's next for this dedicated group of future firefighters!

The EVFPD has recently finished its annual hose testing. A total of 18,500 feet of fire hose was tested to guarantee that our equipment remains reliable and ready for emergency operations. Conducting annual hose testing is a crucial part of our equipment maintenance program, ensuring that our firefighters have the necessary tools to operate safely and effectively during emergency responses.

Wildfire resilience starts at home, and it takes a community to make a difference.

Estes Valley Fire and the Estes Valley Watershed Coalition are working together to help homeowners reduce wildfire risk, marking trees for removal within the first 100 feet of homes to create a more ignition-resistant space around homes. After homeowners received free wildfire home assessments and recommendations from Estes Valley Fire, neighbors came together to tackle vegetation management, with EVWC securing grant funding to support the work alongside efforts already underway by the homeowners.

Wildfire Mitigation Works!

During the Devils Gulch Road Fire in Estes Park, wildfire risk reduction efforts helped protect one local home from the flames. Just weeks before the fire, Estes Valley Protection District Wildfire Risk Reduction Education Specialist Logan Lasley completed a home mitigation assessment for a resident in the affected community, and the homeowner followed through on the recommended steps, reducing the fuel around the property. When the fire reached the area, Lasley recalled doing little triage work at that home—the reduced fuel load essentially cut the fire out. In contrast, flames spread rapidly through properties with heavier, unmanaged fuels.
