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.
JOB OPENINGS: We are taking applications for Fuels Crew positions for the 2022 season.
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.

Elk Creek provides monthly CPR and First Aid classes for the community. Sign up here.

Oh yeah - let's see your best snow dances! Before it arrives, please be sure your vehicle is prepared for the "hazardous travel conditions expected." Adequate tread depth on snow tires or chains when traction laws are put into effect is essential, have emergency supplies stocked, and be sure to give yourself extra time to get to and from home (or work from home if you can). We'll be here if you need us!It's been a long time since we can say this but we finally have accumulating snow for the majority of Colorado in the forecast! It won't be much across the I-25 corridor and plains but it appears likely that our snowless streak will come to an end in Denver. The mountains will see the heaviest snowfall from this storm with hazardous travel conditions expected.
We hope you've saved the date and will join us tomorrow evening at West Jeff Middle School for our Community Wildfire Protection Plan presentation. We'd love your input, and have some great information to share with you! The meeting starts at 6:30pm.![]()

As this is hosted at a Jeffco Public School location and they require masks at their facilities, we ask that you please wear yours for the meeting. Thank you!
