Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department

Estes Park is fortunate to have a dedicated group of individuals who form our Volunteer Fire Department. The Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department serves an area covering approximately 100 square miles. Currently the Department is made up of 35 dedicated volunteers.

Here’s a quick rundown of some of the services provided by the EPVFD :

Structural Fire Fighting                       Wildfire Suppression 
Dive and Swift Water Rescue             Emergency Medical Services 
Low Angle Rescue                             Fire Prevention 
Vehicular Extractions and Rescues      Hazardous Materials Incidents

The Department volunteers are currently improving their skills through training in transporting water via a shuttle system. This, along with acquisition of the new 2000 American LaFrance Engine/Tender, will not only improve their fire protection capabilities, but will assist in the lowering of the ISO rating in areas not served by our water hydrant system. A lower ISO rating can result in lower insurance premiums for property owners in these areas.
