Emergency Response - 2 Miles Above Sea Level

With a mean elevation of 11,702 feet (over 2 miles above sea level) Lake County, Colorado is the highest elevation county in the United States. All-hazard emergency response is managed by Leadville Lake County Fire Rescue which protects their 384 square mile district with a crew of 4 personnel. They respond from Station 1 in historic Leadville and protect a resident population of 7,400. That number significantly increases during various tourist seasons.

In this video we tour their firehouse, the historic Tabor Opera House, respond to a medical emergency and explore the mountainous areas of Lake County.
