The Pinewood Springs Fire Protection District Facebook page and website will be updated with information as resources allow, but you will not receive emergency alerts in this manner.

Plan to attend the Pinewood Springs Community Wildfire Preparedness Day event on Saturday, May 4 from 10 am to Noon to learn more and ask additional questions.

-------

During a recent high-wind event there was a period of time where many Pinewood Springs residents had no power, no cellular service and no landline service. Had there been an evacuation notice issued, how would they have known?

During an evacuation, in addition to alerts going out from NoCoAlert and BoCoAlert, our mutual aid partners in blue, Deputies from the Larimer County Sheriff's Office and the Boulder County Sheriff's Office, as well as officers from Estes Park PD, Larimer County Park Rangers and others will be going door-to-door to ensure that everyone has received the message to evacuate.
