Congratulations to Dylan Futrell on completing his Wildland Firefighter Type 1 (FFT1) designation! This is a major milestone built on training and fireline work in the wildland world.
FFT1 is earned through consistent development: building knowledge of fire behavior and incident fundamentals, strengthening decision-making and safety habits, demonstrating task-level proficiency (including saw work), and applying those skills under the pressure and demands of real operations.
Congratulations, Dylan. Well earned and well represented with CBFPD.

Our crews responded to 105 total incidents, providing emergency services across the communities we serve.
August 2026 by the numbers
73 EMS calls
32 fire calls
33 calls in the Town of Crested Butte
37 calls in Mt. Crested Butte
5 calls in Crested Butte South
30 calls in Gunnison County
The most common EMS call types included syncope or fainting, seizures, and alcohol-related incidents. Of the fire calls, the majority were false alarms, followed by public-service responses and citizen assists. Crews also responded to a wildland fire deployment in Ouray.
Every call represents an opportunity to serve, assist, and support our community and regional partners. Thank you to our firefighters, EMTs, dispatchers, and mutual-aid partners for their continued dedication.

Tonight, the Crested Butte Fire Protection District Board recognized two important milestones within our organization.
Ken Lodovico was presented with a plaque and flag in appreciation of his 11 years of dedicated service to the District, including his time as Board Chairman. As Ken retires, we thank him for his leadership, commitment, and many contributions to the Crested Butte Fire Protection District. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
We also congratulate Allison Ashy on successfully completing her six-month probationary period and Field Training Officer process. Allison was presented with her badge, marking an exciting milestone in her career with CBFPD.
Please join us in thanking Ken for his service and congratulating Allison on this well-earned achievement.
