Crested Butte Fire & EMS Association & Volunteer Squad

The Crested Butte Fire & EMS Volunteer Squad is made up of Volunteer Firefighters & EMTs who dedicate their time, efforts and expertise to the Crested Butte Fire Protection District. The Volunteer Squad is part of the Crested Butte Fire & EMS Volunteer Association which is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization. As a Volunteer Squad/Association, throughout the year we raise funds for our Fallen Firefighter Fund as well as other local charities. Our goal is to provide for our volunteers who dedicate not only their time but risk their lives for their neighbors as well as give back to our community. The Fire Division provides fire suppression for structural & wild land fires as well as rescue service for vehicles & structures. Fire safety education, fire investigations & inspections are handled through the Department of Fire Prevention Office. The Crested Butte EMS Division is an Advanced Life Support Certified service that provides transport to local clinics and Gunnison Valley Hospital. The EMS Division responds to 911 calls anywhere within the 250 square mile district with some of the most cutting edge equipment available today. None of this would be possible without the commitment of over 30 dedicated Volunteer Emergency Medical Technicians that offer compassionate care and transport to our community every day.
