In the event of an emergency, fire or medical, dial 911 and provide your detailed location and type of incident to the 911 operator. By doing so, you are ensured of an expedient response from trained volunteers and professionals. Not only will our local fire department be responding, but also the 911 dispatcher will be simultaneously dispatching Estes Park Ambulance and mutual aid tones to surrounding fire departments. In critical situations, time is of the utmost importance. By following theses procedures, you will receive the best response and professional care.

Chimney Maintenance – Each year our fire department responds to chimney fires more than once. You should make it a habit to have your chimneys cleaned each fall prior to use. A chimney sweep is much less expensive than a fire or smoke damage. Pay specific attention when you first fire up your stove or fireplace an check all connection points for leaks and pay attention to poor drafting. This may be an indication of blockage somewhere in the pipes.
