Service Above Self Award- Crested Butte Rotary Club.
We’re proud to once again recognize Lilian Voegeli, one of our Crested Butte Fire Protection District Explorers.
Lilian’s nomination letter highlights a remarkable pattern of service, showing up for her community with dedication, selflessness, and strong leadership, both in and out of school.
Over the past few years, Lilian has volunteered with the CBFPD Explorer Post, and continues to contribute beyond her time with us. Her nomination also notes involvement with Rotary Interact, school mentoring, helping prepare lunches for Adaptive Sports, and volunteering with Mountain Roots to pack holiday food boxes.
In June, Lilian will be attended Camp Ember, a 3-day firefighting training program for young women that builds skills and provides mentorship opportunities to grow into stronger leaders.
Lilian’s commitment reflects the true meaning of Service Above Self, giving her time and energy to others without needing recognition. We are honored to support her journey and excited to see the leadership she will continue to bring to our community.
Keep shining, Lilian! 🌟
Congratulations!

I can taste it.
B Shift EMS training.
Crested Butte Fire Protection District crews practiced emergency response skills for traumatic falls, patient packaging, and stairwell extraction.
When access is tight and the situation is stressful, coordination and technique make a difference. We keep training so we’re ready for you.
Also, that was real blood. I purposely fell down the stairs to make the training legit
Some one spilled some ketchup.....better clean that up before someone slips and fa......too late!
