Emergencies can be scary!

Take some of the uncertainty out of an emergency by having safety instructions sent directly to your phone.

Peak Alerts are notifications sent by public safety agencies in El Paso and Teller Counties. They provide information about emergency situations that pose a threat to life or property and are determined to be dangerous by public safety officials.

Examples include:
• Natural or man-made disasters
• Hazardous-material incidents
• Missing persons
• Law enforcement activity
• Evacuation notices
• And more

Our Public Education Team spent a cloudy Thursday afternoon with the Pikes Peak Christian School third graders and the Venetucci Elementary first graders (not pictured).

We had blue skies this morning with the Otero Elementary third graders.

We're going to rest up this weekend and then visit more schools next week.

Have we been to your school?

If you see a fire, crash, medical emergency, or other dangerous situation and there are no first responders at the scene, don’t assume someone else has already called.

You may be the first person to report the emergency.

When in doubt, call 9-1-1 and let the call taker determine what help is needed.

Fire Prevention Month has been keeping us busy! Last Friday, we spent the morning at Miami-Yoder Elementary School with the Tri-County Fire Department. In the afternoon, we headed over to Edison School to meet the elementary students and the Edison Fire Department. Yesterday, we headed up Ute Pass to spend the afternoon with the NE Teller County Fire Protection District and the students at CSCS Woodland Park. We loved talking about 9-1-1 and fire safety with students all over El Paso and Teller County!

It’s easy to forget that our devices can start fires.

The National Fire Protection Association reminds us:

“Stop using your device if it feels very hot, starts to swell, smells strange, leaks, smokes, or makes popping or hissing sounds.”
