Yampa Fire Protection District is the only all-volunteer fire district in Routt County.  Covering 389 square miles makes it the largest district in the county with much of our district being nonresidential areas.  With nearly 1,000 full-time residents in our district plus thousands of visitors annually, we are stay prepared to respond to any type of emergency.  We average about 100 calls per year, with a volunteer crew of fifteen volunteers.  About 60% of our calls are EMS, followed by motor vehicle accidents and fires.  With projected growth in the area, our call volume can expect to increase between 20 and 40% in the next 10 years.  The Town of Yampa is actively seeking growth and development within the town limits.  As a whole, Routt County is experiencing growth and development and this will impact our call volume.
