Northern Colorado emergency crews respond to record number of calls during weekend snowstorm NORTHERN COLORADO, Colo. (KRDO) -- Emergency crews in Northern Colorado responded to a record number of calls over the weekend, especially in rural areas. The Wellington Fire Protection District experienced five times the average of daily calls. They created a command center to handle the calls, all while running off of generators. To help with the calls, the Colorado National Guard brought in their specialized units. "There was a lady with her two small children. No electricity, no heat. So we had to go 10-15 miles out east and it took us about 4 hours to get there," said Sgt. Cameron Troup with the Colorado National Guard.
