| The Basalt & Rural Fire Protection District encompasses both sparsely and highly populated areas of Pitkin and Eagle County. For many residents who live in less populated, more remote areas, or who spend time doing outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, and skiing, emergency response times may be considerably longer than those living closer to Basalt and neighboring towns. To find out whether or not you live or play within the Basalt Fire District check out the district map here.
This section provides health and safety tips for all members of the community, particularly those who live the greatest distances from a fire station, or people who recreate in the back country, and must wait longer before emergency services are able to reach them. |
