Retention for long-term employees takes a hit when crews start looking for a spot to settle down, but find nowhere nearby that's in their price range.
“You can chart the trends in our call volume, and it’s been a standard upward trajectory over the last ten years,” Community resource officer Steve Lipsher said.
Humann said he adores his job, which makes his hour and a half commute up to Summit County from Highlands Ranch worth his time. It’s the same story for Firefighter and EMT Jason Bell, who lives in Erie. He said he’d be happy to live closer to work and the Summit County community, but his priorities were being able to afford something he could raise a family in, compared to the housing crisis options of the resort towns.
At the moment, crews are able to keep up with the growing pressure from the community, although things could be less stressful for responders. Summit Fire and EMS have absorbed Copper Mountain Fire and ambulance services for the county which plays into the increased numbers over the years, but Lipsher said that’s still not the biggest driver of calls. The major difference is the number of people living or staying up in the mountains, and he expects that to continue to grow.
