THREE CALLS. AT THE SAME TIME. 

Within the last two hours, Rye Fire Protection District received:
 
• A medical emergency in Rye
• A medical emergency in Colorado City
• A traffic accident with injuries on I-25 near Milepost 81
 
All three calls occurred simultaneously.
 
First, a huge shout-out and THANK YOU to Flight For Life Pueblo, AMR Pueblo, the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office, Colorado State Patrol, and the private citizens who stepped up to assist.
 
In a rural community like ours, neighbors helping neighbors matters. Without assistance from our emergency-service partners and community members, we simply could not have gotten help to everyone who called for it.
 
Today is another real-world example of why staffing is a critical issue for emergency services, especially a fire district covering an area as large as ours. Multiple emergencies don’t wait their turn.
 
And a HUGE thank you to the Rye Fire staff who responded to two of these three incidents without skipping a beat. Your professionalism, dedication, and willingness to answer the call make a difference every single day.

🚒🚑 Thank you to everyone who helped make sure our community was protected today.
