⚠️❄️⚠️ ATTENTION ICE RECREATORS! ⚠️❄️⚠️
Before heading out to fish, skate and ride on the ice at Grand Lake and Shadow Mountain Reservoir, please be aware of this information. Pumping operations beginning this week will result in RAPIDLY THINNING ICE CONDITIONS that aren’t typical for this time of year.

Please see the information below from Northern Water for full details.
***
The Bureau of Reclamation published a news release on March 1, 2024, outlining Colorado-Big Thompson Project operations during on-going work at Pole Hill Power Plant that will result in resuming diversions of Project water through the Adams Tunnel.

Pumping from Farr Pump Plant will create rapidly thinning ice through the Granby Pump Canal, Shadow Mountain Reservoir and the connecting channel between Shadow Mountain Reservoir and Grand Lake.

Thinning ice will also occur at the inlet to West Portal on Grand Lake. Public taking part in recreational activities on both Shadow Mountain Reservoir and Grand Lake should be made aware that the ice thickness in these areas could change quickly and may not support activities it had previously this winter.

Smoke Alarms Save Lives

Nearly one-third of residential fires and two-fifths of residential fatalities occur in homes with no smoke alarms. Put another way, having a working smoke alarm in the home reduces your chances of dying in a fire by nearly half. Find more information on smoke alarms and fire safety on the CO Detectors page and from the U.S. Fire Administration at www.usfa.dhs.gov.

Kitchen Hood Replacement Program a Success!!

kitchen fire burn damage

Over the last decade, our local restaurants were faced with the financial burden of updating their kitchen fire suppression systems to meet changing fire safety standards. East Grand Fire wanted to help lessen this costly expense for our local restaurants so thus created the Commercial Kitchen Safety Incentive Program. This provided up to a $500.00 grant to help the with required replacement of antiquated kitchen hood fire suppression systems in the East Grand Fire Protection District.

We are pleased to say that, to date, East Grand Fire was able to help 11 establishments with the required upgrade to their hood systems. The project is now being completed and East Grand Fire is very happy to have been able to be a part of this important life safety and property preservation enhancing project for our community.
