Another rescue on the Rampart Range!

10/09/2026

Pike National Forest (U.S. Forest Service - PSICC National Forest) is conducting a prescribed fire near Rampart Reservoir. Please don’t call 911 if you see smoke south of the Palmer Divide.

PRESCRIBED BURN 🚨

We’re getting a number of calls about smoke in the Rampart Reservoir Area.

If you are seeing this, we wanted to let you know this is a prescribed burn, being managed by the US Forest Service.

The burn is to the south of the Palmer Divide, but smoke may be visible from Douglas County.

There is no need to call 911.

Have you ever accidentally called 9-1-1?

So far this year, Douglas Regional 9-1-1 has received 3,425 accidental cell phone calls from Douglas and Elbert counties. If you call by mistake, tell the dispatcher what happened. Stay on the line and answer their questions, including confirming your location and name. If you already hung up, answer when we call back.

A few simple steps can help prevent accidental calls and save dispatchers and responders time:

- Lock your phone before putting it in a pocket, purse, or bag.

- Check your phone’s Emergency SOS and crash detection settings so you know what activates them.

- Keep old phones away from children. A phone without an active cell plan can still call 9-1-1.

Just this year, our fire agencies have responded to 105 motor vehicle crash detection alerts where no accident had occurred.

Law enforcement agencies in Douglas and Elbert counties have responded to 3,465 abandoned 9-1-1 calls or open lines where nothing could be heard.

Accidental calls happen. Staying on the line helps us confirm you’re okay.

🚒 THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY! 🚒

We would like to give a special shout-out to Home Depot Highlands Ranch for their generous donations of smoke/CO alarms and fire extinguishers to Jackson 105 Fire to support our mission of "Caring for our Neighbors".

🪫Are your smoke alarms less than 10 years old and have their batteries been changed in the last year?

If not, join us on October 24 from 2–6 PM at Station 142 for our 3rd Annual Trunk or Treat! 🎃🚒 We’ll be handing out these donated alarms to members of our community while supplies last.
