Gilpin County Ambulance is a separate agency responding from one of two stations within Gilpin County.  All CCFD firefighters are trained, at a minimum, to provide basic life support services and therefore are dispatched along with the ambulance to assist in providing emergency medical services.  If the emergency  is life-threatening, both EMS and Fire will be dispatched to ensure that there are adequate personnel to perform all necessary tasks to render the highest quality service.  Fire Department personnel are able to drive the ambulance if needed as well as perform emergency medical care.  The bottom line is we, along with the ambulance, do whatever it takes to get you the help you need in as little time as possible.
