Elbert Fire Protection District

Come join us to welcome our TWO NEW fire tender trucks!!

As we go into the 4th of July weekend, please be mindful of all restrictions!

Our great nations 250th birthday is something to be celebrated, though we ask the community to do so in a smart manner. In order to keep our community safe, many restrictions have been put in place.

ALL FIREWORKS ARE PROHIBITED in unincorporated Elbert County! Including those that are normally considered legal. We understand the frustration, though these restrictions are in place to protect lives, property, and resources. A single spark could lead to a wildfire, and as many know, our state has been harshly affected by wildfires already.

Due to extreme fire danger and dry conditions, these restrictions are in place, and for good reason. We encourage our community members to celebrate safely, by attending community events or professional firework displays.

If you see something, say something! If you observe the use of illegal fireworks, call the Firework Hotline at 303-814-7118 that is staffed from 6 PM to midnight, if outside those hours, contact Douglas Regional 9-1-1 non-emergency line at 303-660-7500. Only utilize calling 9-1-1 in the case of a true emergency, such as seeing active flames or smoke.

Happy 4th of July to all!
