Smoke in region is due to wildfires in northern New Mexico and SW Colorado. No fire in Telluride Fire Protection District.

Still, in the unlikely event our fire risk analysis deteriorates, cancellation is a possibility. Either way, REMEMBER, private fireworks of any kind are ILLEGAL per Town of Telluride & Town of Mountain Village ordinances. Thank you & we hope you enjoy a safe happy 4th. (2 of 2)

TFPD is excited to bring you our fireworks display in honor of Independence Day, July 4th. It’s been a few years since we’ve been able to put on the show due to fire risks and Covid. This year conditions are optimal to put on a spectacular show. (1 of 2)

Interested in how the District staffs its stations and
responds to calls? TFPD is incredibly fortunate to have a
roster of dedicated volunteer firefighters and paid
staff. Like most, we face challenges due to lack of
affordable housing, cost of living, etc.

Did you know the Telluride Fire Protection District protects over 350 square miles in San Miguel
County? Currently the District operates out of four Fire Stations. All four will need significant capital improvements to keep up with the growing needs of our community.

July 4th fireworks have been cancelled by TFPD & TVFD due to ongoing drought issues. Even w/ forecasted rain, fuel moistures are not likely to recover to a safe enough level to responsibly display our fireworks. Remember private display of fireworks is prohibited in the district.
