I've always thought CDOT does a good job with crises management. They get a lot of practice, between rockslides, floods, sinkholes, heavy snow in the high country, it's a lot tougher than most states to keep our roads open and safe. People bash them a lot but they do the best they can with the funding they get. Also kudos to the South Metro Fire Dept, I see those guys in action every day and they are real pros. But you can say that for all our firefighters, whether they are rescuing a dog that fell through the ice or battling a raging forest fire.
