Happy Fourth of July, Crested Butte!
We hope you enjoy a safe holiday with family and friends. Under current fire restrictions, please remember that extra care is required. Dry conditions can make a small ignition turn into a fast-moving incident.
What we’re asking everyone to do.
Avoid any open burning and follow all restriction rules in place for our area.
Use permitted outdoor heating/cooking only as allowed and keep equipment attended.
Keep a close eye on smoking materials and fully extinguish anything that could spark.
Be cautious with vehicles and hot equipment (especially in dry grass).
If you see smoke or flames, call 911 immediately.
Thank you for doing your part to help protect our community and firefighters. From all of us at Crested Butte Fire Protection District, have a happy and safe Fourth of July. #july4th #cbfpd #crestedbutte #crestedbuttefire #gunnison
Crested Butte Fire Protection District is glad to share that our primary brush truck is back from Aspen Acres Fire and ready to support the community in time for the Fourth of July weekend.
We’re also sharing a quick reminder that CBFPD maintains full readiness, staffing and equipment, so the district is covered at all times, including during periods when crews may be deployed on mutual aid.
Welcome home Abby and the boys!! Definitely feeling a little safer with you all here. And once again - thank you to all of CBFPD for what you do.
