Players, a coach, and responders stand together during the annual pizza delivery.

Members of the Evergreen High Girls and Boys Basketball Teams delivered pizzas to EFR 4/6 to thank emergency responders for their service. The annual Pizza Delivery has become a tradition because of the EHS Athletic Dept. We are grateful for the support from YOU, our community. @ehs__cougars

We challenged students at the School of Mines and Evergreen High to reduce all the biomass created by mitigation. On 4/3, 55 students shared their proposals and 4 teams won the Innov8x Biomass Challenge. We applaud innovative thinking that contributes to risk reduction. #EverythingforYOU

Demolition of the existing crew quarters at Station 2 is underway! The new quarters will accommodate up to 10 responders overnight, reduce crew exposure to carcinogenic chemicals, and improve response times to help keep YOU and our personnel safer.

#EverythingforYOU

Sometimes receiving cookies is more than it appears. When Girl Scouts delivered donated cookies on 3/20, our firefighters also chatted with these girls about leadership & careers they may not have considered. Moments like this matter because they help develop leaders to serve YOU. #EverythingforYOU

Please join us this Friday at 2 pm for our ground-breaking ceremony as we begin renovating Station 2. When this station has modern safety equipment and space for more responders to overnight, we’ll be more ready to respond when YOU need us most. Park at the old school and meet us in our parking lot.

We serve YOU, our community, but today some of our community’s Girl Scouts visited and brought boxes of cookies to share with our personnel. We’re grateful they already enjoy serving others. Maybe someday some of them will serve all of us with Evergreen Fire/Rescue.

Sometimes peace of mind starts with a simple check.
Evergreen Fire/Rescue offers wellness support services to help residents stay informed about their health.

Remember care doesn’t always begin with an emergency. #everythingforyou

EFR responded to a 3/4-acre grass fire at CR 73 and Malamute Dr on 3/13. Firefighters extinguished the perimeter, dug a handline around it, and cold-trailed the black, which means they felt for heat to make sure the fire was completely out (that's what they're doing in the video). #EverythingforYOU

Weather Report: 3/13 - winds could drop to 10-20 mph, with gusts of 40. Rh will be 12–18%, with temps over 60F.

3/14 - winds of 20–30 mph, with gusts to 50. A cold front may bring snow after midnight and give us all a much-needed break

We’re here to help you stay prepared. #EverythingforYOU

EFR personnel responded to 78 emergencies from 7 am to 7 pm. We couldn’t do it without help from Jeffcom911, JCSO, CCSO, Clear Creek Road & Bridge, Jeffco Wildfire Module, Xcel, CORE, and all our vigilant residents. All those partners helped us respond faster and protect YOU. #EverythingforYOU

We frequently get asked, "How many incidents do you get in a day?" It depends on the day, but Feb. 25 EFR responded to 17 emergencies dispatched by Jeffcom 911. That included 7 calls within a 90-minute period. EFR responded promptly to each because that's how we serve YOU. #EverythingforYOU

Info about Lookout Alert

Info about Lookout Alert

We won't always share specific Red Flag Warnings because this year we're expecting many days with hot, dry, windy conditions. Registering for Lookout Alert, calling 911 to report smoke, and signing up for free home wildfire risk assessments all can help keep YOU safer.
#Everythingforyou

Three residents erred on the side of caution this week and called 911 when they smelled something unusual. Firefighters didn’t find any hazards at any of 3 buildings. The incidents weren't dramatic, but we’re grateful they called 911 because moments like this help us protect YOU. #EverythingforYOU

EFR, JCSO, & Alpine Rescue Team responded to Maxwell Falls Jan. 2 for a stuck climber. Here, rescuers watch teammates rappelling to assist. Their role is rarely seen, but it matters because it ensures rescuer and victim safety. Everything we do, seen or unseen, is for YOU.

Fireworks

Please celebrate responsibly this week. Use a designated driver or public transportation, especially if you can't sing Auld Lang Syne without slurring the words (more than usual) because of alcohol or drug consumption. We wish you a safe and joyful New Year's Eve and New Year.
