Smoke in region is due to wildfires in northern New Mexico and SW Colorado. No fire in Telluride Fire Protection District.
TFPD is excited to bring you our fireworks display in honor of Independence Day, July 4th. It’s been a few years since we’ve been able to put on the show due to fire risks and Covid. This year conditions are optimal to put on a spectacular show. (1 of 2)
Interested in how the District staffs its stations and
responds to calls? TFPD is incredibly fortunate to have a
roster of dedicated volunteer firefighters and paid
staff. Like most, we face challenges due to lack of
affordable housing, cost of living, etc.
Did you know the Telluride Fire Protection District protects over 350 square miles in San Miguel
County? Currently the District operates out of four Fire Stations. All four will need significant capital improvements to keep up with the growing needs of our community.
Curious why the Telluride Fire Protection District is asking voters to approve a Mill Levy increase in the current election?

Telluride Fire EMS retweeted
Stage 1 Fire Restrictions go into effect for San Miguel County at 1201am Wednesday, June 15th. Thank you for being fire safe.
July 4th fireworks have been cancelled by TFPD & TVFD due to ongoing drought issues. Even w/ forecasted rain, fuel moistures are not likely to recover to a safe enough level to responsibly display our fireworks. Remember private display of fireworks is prohibited in the district.
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of one of our former Telluride Fire Protection District volunteer firefighters, Mr. Paul Dujardin. Paul served 15 yrs as a volunteer firefighter & 8 years on the TFPD Board, four as President. District Chief John Bennett said,
Our TFPD family wishes to honor those who are actively serving, those who have served, and those who sacrificed their lives to make ours better. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Law Enforcement, Fire and EMS personnel, thank you for all you have done and all you do.
TFPD Wildland crew is in its 3rd week of service at the #HermitsPeakFire & #CalfCanyonFire near Sante Fe. TFPD engine is also on scene. The 3 FFs are part of a Structure Protection Task Force performing functions ahead of the fire path. Stay safe & thank you for your service!
Telluride Fire Protection District has four fire fighters and an engine assisting with fire suppression efforts on the #SimsMesaFire in Ouray County. Be safe and thank you for your service!
“Wildfire Season” has turned into “Wildfire Year” with Colorado experiencing record-setting wildfires for 2yrs straight driven by extreme weather & drought conditions. While TFPD is working hard to monitor & reduce risks, we urge you to join this critical effort.
Contact the West Region Wildfire Council (cowildfire.org/) for mitigation information to protect your property. Have an evacuation plan, and make sure you’re signed up for CodeRed (public.coderedweb.com/cne/en…). Please be smart and act ahead of an emergency.
