Let’s celebrate National Dog Day!
At Crested Butte Fire Protection District, we’re lucky to share our lives with some pretty great four-legged friends. From department dogs to the pups we meet around the community, these loyal companions bring plenty of joy, personality, and occasional distractions wherever they go.
Swipe through to meet some of the dogs who belong to our members and a few memorable pups we’ve met along the way. We’re grateful for every wagging tail, wet nose, and enthusiastic greeting.
Help us celebrate by sharing a photo of your favorite dog in the comments!

Crested Butte Fire Protection District is asking everyone traveling on the highway to slow down and stay alert, especially at night and in areas where wildlife may be present.
A recent collision with a large animal caused significant damage to a vehicle and required an emergency response. Incidents like this can happen in an instant, leaving drivers with little time to react.
Please:
-Reduce your speed, especially after dark.
-Stay alert and watch the shoulders for wildlife.
-Use your high beams when appropriate and dim them for oncoming traffic.
-Avoid distractions and keep your eyes on the road.
-If an animal enters the roadway, brake firmly and stay in your lane when possible. Swerving can create an even greater danger.
-Move over and slow down when approaching emergency vehicles, responders, or roadside incidents.
A few extra seconds of caution can help protect you, your passengers, wildlife, and emergency personnel. Please slow down and make it home safely.
