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.

C Shift spent time honing critical Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) skills, including wall breaching and firefighter recovery techniques. This training helps our crews operate efficiently in challenging environments while locating, accessing, and assisting a firefighter in distress.
Hands-on practice with breaching, navigation, and coordinated team movement strengthens the skills needed to support our own when conditions become dangerous. Great work by C Shift continuing to train with purpose and precision.
