About Pleasant View Fire Protection District
The Pleasant View Fire Protection District is located in southwest Colorado in the shadow of the Mesa Verde National Park and the Ute Mountain. At an average elevation of 6900 ft we cover an area of approximately 384 square miles. The area consists of pinion and juniper covered canyons, dry and irrigated farm land, many homes, outbuildings and barns.
The area we cover is made up of the three communities of Pleasant View, Yellow Jacket and Cahone. Operating under Pleasant View Fire Protection District, we provide fire protection, emergency medical services, hazmat response and rescue for our three communities, the people living in the area, visitors and travelers on Highway 491.

Stations and equipment
We are incredibly proud of the equipment that we have to help protect our community. Our members are constantly training with modern, state-of-art firetrucks and emergency response vehicles. These vehicles and equipment allow us to successfully respond to any vehicle accident, structure and wildland/forest fires and possible hazardous material incidents. We owe this ability to our tax income, grants and generous donations.
