Crested Butte Fire Protection District hosted the Colorado Propane Gas Association for an important training session focused on propane safety. Crews learned about the properties of propane, how to safely mitigate propane leaks, and the different types of storage and transportation tanks.
This kind of education helps strengthen our preparedness and supports safer responses for our community and surrounding area. We appreciate the Colorado Propane Gas Association for sharing their knowledge and expertise with our team.
On Saturday, April 25, 2026, CBFPD members Veronica Jarolemk, Beth Shaner, Maggie McIntosh, and Liv Holowachuk attended the 2026 Women in the Fire Service Skills Day, hosted by Boulder Rural Fire Rescue.
Approximately 70 women participated in this event, which was designed to help women in the fire service sharpen their craft, build confidence, train hard, learn from one another, and expand their professional networks in a supportive, high-energy environment.
Our members trained on essential fireground skills including forcible entry, hose management, ladders, vertical ventilation and saw work, search, and victim removal. Veronica completed the advanced track, while Beth, Maggie, and Liv took part in the Mastering the Basics track.
The instructors were outstanding — skilled, inspiring women who created a challenging and encouraging training atmosphere.
This type of training strengthens CBFPD by building confidence, improving hands-on skills, and bringing valuable knowledge and experience back to our crews and community.
We’re proud of Veronica, Beth, Maggie, and Liv for representing CBFPD and continuing to grow in the fire service. Professional photos were taken at the event, and we look forward to sharing them when they become available.
