About Us
Our 100% non-paid volunteer fire department is committed to providing quality and rapid response for fires, emergency medical care, ice rescue, river rescue, traffic accidents and information to our residents and visitors to the Poudre Canyon.
The Poudre Canyon Volunteer Fire/EMS Department serves the residents and visitors of the Poudre Canyon in Bellvue, Colorado. The canyon is home to 750 full-time residents with a summertime population of 3,000 and is host to nearly 500,000 visitors annually. These visitors engage in all sorts of activities including fishing, boating, hiking, mountain biking, sightseeing, motorcycling and backcountry weekend getaways at one of our mountain resorts. Many of our emergency calls are to assist these visitors. Responding to an area nearly 60 miles long, the Poudre Canyon Fire Protection District covers more than 99 square miles from Gateway Park to Cameron Pass along Colorado State Highway 14, and up to County Road 69 and County Road 68C up to and including the Shambhala Mountain Center and Ben Delatour Scout Ranch. In addition, we are the first responding agency to another 150 square miles adjacent to our district.

The communities that the Poudre Canyon Fire Protection District serves are located in three areas. Poudre Canyon stretches for 60 miles along Hwy 14 and for our purposes is divided into two areas, Lower Poudre Canyon east of the narrows and Upper Poudre Canyon west of the narrows. Poudre Park is the population center of the Lower Poudre Canyon. Many of these people have jobs in town and commute to work. Rustic and Spenser Heights are the population centers of the Upper Poudre Canyon. Most people who live in these areas are retired. The third area we serve is along County road 68C. Here you will find the Shambhala Mountain Center and the Ben Delatour Scout Ranch. Most of the folks who live in this area are self-employed.
