Spanish Peaks/Bon Carbo
Fire Protection District



Proudly serving over 500 square miles in Las Animas County, Colorado!
Welcome to the website of the Spanish Peaks Fire Department, and the Bon Carbo Fire Department, collectively known as the Spanish Peaks/Bon Carbo Fire Protection District.

While we are two individual and distinct Fire Departments, as one united Fire Protection District, we are dedicated to public safety and awareness.  On the left, you will find links to both of the different Fire Departments that comprise the Spanish Peaks/Bon Carbo Fire Protection District.  On each Fire Department's page, you will find links to important information such as how to obtain a burn permit, wildfire mitigation, how to become a volunteer firefighter, EMT, or auxiliary member, and disaster preparedness.  We even have a blog, where you can find up to date information relating to public safety, events, and emergency information in your area.

The Bon Carbo Fire Department covers the town of Bon Carbo, and its' surrounding area, and several subdivisions, including Spanish Highlands, Whispering Pines, Purgatorie Recreation area, Picketwire, Rancho LaGarita, Arrowhead Ranchettes, Rancho Verde, and Fisher's Peak Ranches.  Some of these subdivisions are in bordering areas between two different fire protection districts, so you will need to call the Bon Carbo Fire Department if you're curious as to which fire protection district serves your area.

The Spanish Peaks Fire Department covers the towns of Aguilar and Gulnare, and their surrounding areas, as well as twenty miles of I-25, and several subdivisions, including Apishapa River Ranch, Apishapa River Valley Estates, Aspen Rose Ranch, Big View Estates, Bighorn Ranch, Bighorn Sheep Ranchettes, Blackhawk Ranch, Black Hills Ranch, Cimmarron Ranch, Cordova Mesa, DelAgua Canyon, La Mariposa, Panadero Valley Ranch, Pinon Ridge Estates, Ponderosa Hills, River Pines Ranch, Ridgeview Ranch, Spanish Peaks Ranch, Spanish Peaks Ranch Estates, Spirit Mountain Ranch, Trails West, Trujillo Creek Ranch, Twin Valley Ranch, and Virmillion Ranch.  Some of these subdivisions are in bordering areas between two different fire protection districts, so you will need to call the Spanish Peaks Fire Department if you're curious as to which fire protection district serves your area.  Because of its' large protection area, Spanish Peaks Fire Department operates two separate stations, one in the town of Aguilar, and one located in Gulnare.
