Emergency Incident Support is a distinctive volunteer team that promptly assists firefighters, police, and search and rescue teams upon request during emergencies. We deliver food, drinks, and supplies, serving as a vital support hub known as a “comfort station” at both urban and rural disaster sites.

EIS is dedicated to meeting the physical and personal needs of emergency responders, ensuring they have essential supplies such as food and fluids. Structured for swift deployment, EIS volunteers are ready to handle prolonged or extensive emergency scenarios, capable of sustaining operations over multiple days.

Supported by generous sponsors and donors, Emergency Incident Support operates as a Colorado based 501(c)(3) that primarily provides support to El Paso, Douglas, Teller, Custer, Pueblo counties, as well as other counties and statewide organizations upon request.
