About
The Estes Valley Fire Protection District covers the town and the valley around it. Visitors mostly meet it through its website, where fire restrictions and danger levels live. Read that before you strike a match.
The district's address is 901 N. St. Vrain Avenue, and the non-emergency line is 970-577-0900. In an emergency, dial 911. It runs two fire stations and provides fire prevention, fire protection and emergency services for locals and visitors. Its website carries current fire restrictions and danger levels, burn permit information, guest resources, volunteer opportunities and a PulsePoint CPR responder program.
If you're camping, grilling or planning anything with flame, check the district's restrictions first. Rules change with the weather and they get stricter fast in a dry year. Not knowing is not a defense. This isn't a place to drop in for a look around. Call the non-emergency number with questions about burn permits or fire safety. I'd also say that living in the mountains makes you think about wildfire differently. If you're staying in a cabin, learn the evacuation routes the night you arrive, and keep your gas tank above half. It takes two minutes.
