Elk Creek Fire Protection District’s Mission is:
To encourage and promote fire safety and fire prevention; to provide fire suppression and emergency medical services; and to make our mountain community a safe place to live, work and play.

Community Connect is a free, secure, and easy to use platform that allows you to share critical information about your household that will aid first responders and emergency response personnel when responding to your residence. By providing information about your household that you feel is important for us to know about at the time of an emergency, we can ensure you and everything you care about is protected to the best of our ability.

Recently, Chief Mark Wesseldine was selected as Colorado State Fire Instructor of the year. Along with his work at Platte Canyon Fire, Chief Wesseldine has served as a Training Chief at Elk Creek Fire, and many of our firefighters have been fortunate to learn from his extensive knowledge. We couldn't agree more with Platte Canyon Fire's sentiments below, and we are so grateful to Chief Wessledine for all he has given us and the community. Congratulations Chief on a well-deserved award!
And as promised.... here is what happened to the cantaloupe! (“PPE” means Personal Protective Equipment)![]()
