Clear Creek EMS is a paid ambulance service with a minimum of one Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulance on duty, 24 hours, 7 days a week. On weekends, holidays, and special events, we can staff as many as five ambulances, augmented by paramedic quick response vehicles. Our staff includes the EMS Director, Operations Manager, three full-time paramedic supervisors, one full-time paramedic, and over 30 part-time paramedics and EMT-Basics. Clear Creek EMS is responsible for responding to all of the medical calls within the Clear Creek Emergency Services District, as well as mutual aid response into Summit, Grand, Gilpin, and Jefferson counties. We work side by side with Clear Creek Fire Authority, Clear Creek County Sheriffs Office, municipality police departments, Colorado State Patrol, Loveland Ski Patrol, and Alpine Rescue Team. Clear Creek EMS provides EMS education to various affiliated agencies as well as to the community we serve. We also provide a Neighborhood Paramedic Program this is designed to seek out those in the community with special needs in an attempt to provide better patient care when needed. Clear Creek County is a mountain community with four 14,000 foot peaks, two small cities, one ski resort, and one major interstate all within our response district. Weather, mountain roads, back country rescue, and the unforeseen all make this a truly challenging area to work in. |
