Community Evacuation Training is scheduled for Saturday, July 25, 2026 — 10:00 AM

The Genesee Fire Protection District invites all residents to participate in a Community Evacuation Training on Saturday, July 25th, beginning at 10:00 AM, utilizing our newly constructed Emergency Access Road.

This exercise will help our community and emergency responders practice safe, efficient evacuation procedures in the event of a wildfire or other emergency requiring residents to leave the area quickly.

What to Expect

• Crews will be stationed at the top, middle, and bottom of the emergency access road to guide traffic and communicate instructions.
• Residents will be informed of when to use the road and how that information will be communicated during a real evacuation.
• We will be timing the process to measure how long it takes to safely move people out of the area.
• Electronic roadside signs will be in place to help direct and inform the community during the exercise.

Partner Agencies

We are proud to be coordinating this training with the Colorado State Patrol and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, alongside support from CDOT.

Estimated Duration

The training is expected to take approximately 2 hours, though the exact timing will depend on community participation.

How to Get Involved

We encourage all residents to take part — this is a valuable opportunity to understand evacuation procedures before they are ever needed in an emergency. If you have questions or would like more information, please contact us at info@geneseefire.org.
