Our Service Area

CPFD provides fire protection services within the boundaries of two subdivisions which comprise Crystal Park, a 2,200 acre private community set in the mountains above Manitou Springs, Colorado. Crystal Park has 360 individual memberships/home sites, of which over 220 are developed sites. In coordination with El Paso County, the Department may also be called upon to respond to other private areas in the vicinity of the service area through mutual aid.

There are 46 miles of roadway in Crystal Park that are maintained year-round. These roads provide limited but critical fire service access to many areas of Crystal Park and in some cases the only access to remote areas of El Paso County and Pike National Forest.
