March 20-22 -- slash pile burn -- With more than twelve inches of snow and no wind, weather conditions became right for the safe burning of the Association slash pile. Fire department members monitored the large-scale burn twenty-four hours a day for seventy-two hours to ensure safety. Pictures

JULY

July 8, evening -- smoke report 4 miles west of Beaver Meadows -- Fire department members turned out in response to a report of smoke sighted to the west of Beaver Meadows. After some searching, it was concluded that this was actually an inversion layer of fog.

July 20, afternoon -- smoke report east of Crystal Lakes -- Red Feather Fire Department, having received a report of smoke sighted near Lost Lake in the vicinity of Many Thunders Mountain, called Crystal Lakes out to assist in searching for the source of the smoke. Crystal Lakes firefighters and auxiliary assisted Red Feather Lakes firefighters, Forest Service personnel, and the Sheriff's Department in attempting to track down this smoke sighting. The conclusion was finally reached that the "smoke" was actually steam from a recent rain/hailstorm that had hit the area east of Crystal Lakes without hitting Crystal Lakes, and all units stood down.
