Evergreen Fire/Rescue is a public safety organization based in Evergreen, Colorado, founded in 1948, that operates as a volunteer fire department with additional staff support. It provides emergency response across a broad range of incidents, including structure fires, drownings, crashes, wildfires, and also offers non-emergency services such as CPR training, community event participation, station tours, and space for local meetings. Serving nearly 26,000 residents over more than 120 square miles, the department is organized into six divisions—Administration, Communications, Emergency Medical Services, Fire Operations, Fire Prevention, and Maintenance—led by a Fire Chief and a board, with a structure that emphasizes round-the-clock EMS, rescue, and fire suppression, along with inspections and education. The organization positions itself as one of the larger volunteer fire departments in the state, collaborating with residents, business owners, employees, and visitors to enhance public safety. In recent updates, the department announced leadership changes and personnel additions, reflecting ongoing governance and community engagement activities within its service area.
