The Eagle River Fire Protection District and @vailfiredept responded to a serious motor vehicle accident on I-70 this week. The vehicle had rolled multiple times before coming to rest on its side against a guard rail.
Firefighters arrived on scene to find the single occupant trapped inside. While simultaneously stabilizing the vehicle to prevent further movement, Firefighters worked quickly to safely extricate the driver. @ecparamedics provided immediate medical care on site for the occupant.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation. We’re grateful for the coordinated efforts of all responders and remind drivers to always stay alert and drive safely—especially on our mountain roads.

You may have caught @eagleriverfire Engines 5 and 11 training last week in Avon.
Although each of our fire engines carry 500 gallons of water, sometimes large fires need a large volume of water to be extinguished.
These Firefighters were focusing on the operation and capacity of our fire pumps, which included simultaneously supplying multiple high volume hose lines and sharing their water supply with other fire engines.

Recently, @eagleriverfire assisted @vailfiredept to battle a challenging house fire in East Vail. The main body of fire had spread into the roof, which was constructed with multiple layers of roofing material and insulation, making firefighting efforts significantly more labor-intensive.
Once the main body of fire had been extinguished, firefighters faced a tough task as they then had to cut through the mass of roofing material with chainsaws to expose smaller hidden fires. The process was slow and deliberate, but their hard work and persistence paid off. After a prolonged effort, the fire was finally extinguished.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but we’re thankful for the combined efforts of both departments in bringing the situation under control safely. A big thank you to all involved! 🔥🚒
