We are very proud to serve the communities of Westcreek, Trout Creek, Turkey Rock, Lost Valley and Lutheran Valley Ranch, as well as Pike National Forest.

Mountain Communities Volunteer Fire Department is proud to provide 911 emergency fire and medical response to the areas of Teller and Douglas Counties of Colorado. We cover northwest Teller County and southwest Douglas County in the beautiful state of Colorado. Mountain Communities provides Fire and EMS 911 response over a 99 square mile fire/rescue district, situated along Highway 67 between Deckers to the north and Woodland Park to the south. The east and west borders are within Rainbow Falls to the east and the south fork of the South Platte river above Cheeseman Reservoir to the west. We average 120 calls a year and EMS usually accounts for about 80% of these calls. We service an additional 100 square miles of “no mans” land within Pike National Forest, all the way east to Rampart Range Road. We are active participants in the Teller County Task Force, when large incidents require many departments to team together. Our terrain is between 7500 and 10000 altitude, leading to many tough, mountainous rescues. Our small team of volunteer Firefighters, EMTs, and EMRs dedicate their time and energy towards this demanding work. We have a capable selection of vehicles and equipment spread between 3 stations within the district.

Fire managers on the have been working with the National Weather Service to evaluate weather conditions for the prescribed fire. Conditions look favorable for ignitions on Oct. 8.

The Rampart Reservoir Area prescribed fire is located approximately three miles east of Woodland Park. Smoke production could last a couple of days and will be visible from Highway 24, Woodland Park and the Pikes Peak area. To view air quality impacts, please view a smoke map at airnow.gov.

Public safety is always the first consideration for all fire management operations. Each prescribed fire has a detailed prescribed fire plan developed from the comprehensive planning efforts conducted long before the project activities are initiated.

Check back for ongoing updates on the Rampart Reservoir Area prescribed fire.

Last night, MCVFD responded to a reported lightning strike fire near Trout Creek Ranch. Crews arrived on scene and confirmed multiple tree strikes on U.S. Forest Service - PSICC National Forest land.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office Office of Emergency Management deployed a drone operator with deputy support to assist with continued assessment and monitoring of the area. Thanks to a quick response from all agencies involved, the Trout Creek Fire is now fully contained at 0.2 acres.

Containment efforts included multiple water drops from the Douglas County helicopter and support from USFS crews. We want to extend a special thank you to the Trout Creek community members who spotted the fire from a local lookout point, assisted with drone operations, and provided updated wind forecasts throughout the incident.

Your vigilance and support make a difference. Thank you to everyone who helped keep our community safe!

From recent rescues to helicopter operations and safety training, we're grateful for our partners at Flight For Life Colorado. Beyond providing critical emergency medical services, Flight for Life also supports search and rescue missions, helps locate wildfires, and transports personnel to remote, hard-to-reach locations. During training last month, MCVFD officers earned flight authorization (lift tickets) to fly as passengers during backcountry emergency responses when needed. Thank you to Flight for Life for being our eyes in the sky and for always answering the call!
