First Responder Friday - Schelly Olson

Schelly Olson has been a full-time employee of the Grand Fire Protection District No. 1 in Grand Lake, Colorado since 2011, and is currently the Assistant Chief and the Public Information Officer for Grand Fire. This past week the East Troublesome fire in Colorado became the second largest wildfire in Colorado history. Chief Olson will join us to talk about this fire event, and the personal loss she and her family experienced during this fire. Schelly is a Command and General Staff member of the Northwest Colorado Type 3 Incident Management Team and a qualified Public Information Officer. She enjoys instructing wildland urban interface/fire adapted communities courses for the National Fire Academy and currently serves as a member of the Mission-Centered Solutions cadre of instructors delivering fire leadership courses across the country.

Schelly founded the Grand County Wildfire Council in 2013, and maintains bewildfireready.org, the website that helps “Grand County residents and visitors live and play more safely with the threat of wildfire.” She is currently the Vice Chair of the Colorado State Fire Chiefs’ Wildland Section and the Treasurer of Fire Adapted Colorado, connecting with others to reduce the impact of wildfire on communities across the state. Chief Olson was recently appointed as Alternate on the NFPA’s Wildland and Rural Fire Protection Committee.
