Helping first responders to help our community

The High Country Auxiliary

The High Country Auxiliary was organized to aid and support Timberline Fire Protection District, Gilpin County Animal Rescue Team (GCART), and other emergency service organizations that serve our community. We are a non-profit, 501(c) 3 organization in compliance with Colorado’s Corporations Not For Profit Act, CRS 7-40-101 through 7-40-113.
