HOW WE SERVE CLEAR CREEK COUNTY
Staffing Improvements

The daily staffing levels have been increased to eight personnel per day. This staffing level provides 24/7 staffing of two firefighters at Station 4 in Georgetown beginning in April of 2024. This was followed with the addition of daily staffing of four firefighters at Station 2 in Idaho Springs. The daily staffing at Station 1 in Dumont has been adjusted to be two firefighters. These staffing levels are supported by four career firefighters and four shift firefighters per shift. Shift firefighters are state qualified firefighters that provide service to the community as volunteers for a shift stipend. In addition to these increased staffing levels the department has been able to purchase a used replacement engine for Idaho Springs. The staffing model now allows for the staffing of two quick response engines along with two Engine/Tenders per day in addition to the shift Captains.
Engine 21 is a 2018 Ford F550 Wet Rescue that has a 500gpm pump along with a 300 gallon water tank. This apparatus will serve the East side of the district and respond from Idaho Springs.

Clear Creek Hazard Mitigation Plan
Clear Creek County in collaboration with the City of Idaho Springs, and the Towns of Empire, Georgetown, and Silver Plume, are updating the County’s Hazard Mitigation. This update is a prerequisite to enable the County and participating jurisdictions to remain eligible to use federal pre- and post-disaster financial assistance.
The Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan analyzes the County’s vulnerabilities to natural hazards and identifies mitigation actions the jurisdictions in Clear Creek County can take to minimize property damage and reduce the loss of life by lessening the impacts of disasters.
