On Thursday afternoon, Lake Dillon Fire-Rescue showed a demonstration of how difficult it is for emergency vehicles to get across the Dam Road.
The fire department listed seven steps that have to be taken:
1) Call one of three numbers provided by the local Denver Water Board Representative to request access to the road (including during emergent responses - e.g., medicals, fires, auto accident responses).
2) Wait at the barrier(s) for a guard to come and unlock the gate from the guard shack located only on the east side of the Dillon Dam Road.
3) Once the gate is opened, proceed through the jersey barriers.
4) Wait for Denver Water Board security to close and re-lock the gate.
5) Follow Denver Water Board security across the Dam Road to the opposite side of the Dam to proceed through the exit jersey barrier/gate.
6) Wait for Denver Water Board security to open the gate.
7) Drive apparatus through jersey barrier and gate and proceed en-route to call.
