National Night Out was a blast, and I had a great time!
We had so many agencies and first responders attend this year. It was great to have Colorado State Patrol and bring a trailer for safe driving education. Also, it was great to have a driving simulator provided by DRS Events.

Thank you also to Phillips 66 in Empire for the donations to help make the event successful!

If you want to show your support, here is the information for the Procession going through Clear Creek County today.

Monday, July 20th, we will honor the memory and sacrifice of helicopter pilot Nicholas Dale as a procession escorts him from Montrose to Denver International Airport. Nicholas tragically lost his life while protecting communities during the Gold Mountain Fire wildfire operations.

We invite community members along the route to join us in paying their final respects.

The procession is expected to come through Eagle County between 9:30 a.m and 10:15 a.m.

To honor Nicholas safely and avoid causing traffic hazards on I-70, please strictly adhere to the following directives from the Colorado State Patrol (CSP), the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), and traffic safety officials.

Please set up safely on overpasses and exit ramps to watch the procession pass.

Do NOT stand, park, or set up along the shoulders of I-70 or any major highway. Keeping the shoulders entirely clear is vital for public safety and the flow of traffic.

The procession will consist of a small convoy of 7–10 emergency and official vehicles. They will be driving with steady, non-flashing overhead light beams to maintain safety and prevent motorist confusion on the interstate.

Thank you for your support and for helping us honor a hero who gave everything to protect Colorado.

El lunes 20 de julio honraremos la memoria y el sacrificio del piloto de helicóptero Nicholas Dale con una procesión que lo acompañará desde Montrose hasta el Aeropuerto Internacional de Denver. Nicholas perdió trágicamente la vida protegiendo a las comunidades durante las operaciones de extinción del incendio forestal de Gold Mountain.

Invitamos a los miembros de la comunidad a lo largo de la ruta a unirse a nosotros para rendirle su último homenaje.

Se espera que la procesión pase por el condado de Eagle entre las 9:30 y las 10:15 de la mañana.

Para honrar a Nicholas de forma segura y evitar causar peligros en el tráfico de la I-70, les rogamos que sigan estrictamente las siguientes directivas de la Patrulla Estatal de Colorado (CSP), el Departamento de Transporte de Colorado (CDOT) y las autoridades de seguridad vial.

Por favor, colóquense en lugares seguros en los pasos elevados y rampas de salida para ver pasar la procesión.

NO se detengan, estacionen ni se coloquen en los arcenes de la I-70 ni de ninguna otra carretera principal. Mantener los arcenes completamente despejados es vital para la seguridad pública y la fluidez del tráfico.

La procesión estará compuesta por un pequeño convoy de entre 7 y 10 vehículos de emergencia y oficiales. Conducirán con luces altas fijas y sin destellos para mantener la seguridad y evitar confusiones a los demás conductores en la autopista.

Gracias por su apoyo y por ayudarnos a honrar a un héroe que lo dio todo por proteger Colorado.

Clear Creek County Conducting Emergency Evacuation Exercise
Heavy Traffic Expected on Hwy 103 on May 2

On Saturday, May 2, 2026, several neighborhoods along Highway 103 in Clear Creek County are participating in an evacuation exercise. Many residents in the Beaver Brook, Echo Hills, Evergreen West, and Raven Ridge neighborhoods have registered to participate. These residents will receive instructions to evacuate their homes on the morning of May 2, 2026.

Residents and visitors should expect heavy traffic on Hwy 103 between 10am – 12:30pm. The evacuation route for all participating neighborhoods is Hwy 103 East to Evergreen Pkwy/Hwy 74 south to the evacuation center at the former Bergen Meadow Elementary School. Public safety personnel will be monitoring evacuation checkpoints along Hwy 103 during the exercise. Variable message boards (VMS boards) are currently positioned on Hwy 103 to warn motorists to expect heavy traffic on May 2.

The exercise will help residents become more familiar with evacuation routes and better understand what to expect during an evacuation. It will also help participating agencies improve evacuation processes and establish a benchmark of evacuation times for more populated neighborhoods. Agencies participating in the exercise include Clear Creek Sheriff’s Office, Evergreen Fire Rescue, Clear Creek Fire Authority, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Jeffcom911, and Clear Creek County.
