Summit Fire and EMS is planning for the future.
The fire district recently completed a move to its new administration building at the County Commons in Frisco, and with the merger between Summit Fire and the Summit County Ambulance Service set to be completed in January, the district is considering its next big move: a new fire station in Silverthorne.
Following Summit Fire’s departure from its Silverthorne administration building in July, officials with the district said there were concerns raised among residents in the area that fire and ambulance response times might be impacted. The station hadn’t been used for emergency response since the early 2000s, so those concerns were largely unfounded.
