Washington D.C.- The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), a component of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, strongly urges all residents to practice extra caution and safety during the upcoming Fourth of July activities across America. Thousands of serious fireworks-related incidents typically injure eyes, heads and hands each year. Sparklers, firecrackers, and bottle rockets are leading contributors to these injuries. Younger children should not be allowed to play with fireworks.
“Fireworks account for a large number of preventable fires and injuries,” said USFA Acting Administrator Glenn Gaines. “Firefighters everywhere know too well the Fourth of July is a dangerous time for unnecessary fires and serious burns and injuries.”
During the week of April 21-25, the Park City Fire District was able to participate in live fire training exercises. Over 30 fires were started in the former Kids Kampus (or Miss Billie’s) Preschool at 4120 N. Highway 224. These were small one room fires intended to train firefighters in a new tactic called “Positive Pressure Attack”.
The Park City Fire District recently took delivery of a new custom-built KME Predator rear mount pumper for Station 38 in lower Deer Valley.
The Park City Fire Service District will begin the Wood Chipping and Fuel Reduction Program on Monday, June 1, 2009 through Saturday, October 30, 2009.
