The Park City Fire District takes summer wildland fire danger very seriously. It is our mission to be proactive in fire prevention and mitigation of wildland-urban interface fire hazards.

All suppression personnel are trained in wildland firefighting and most have Red Card certification. Park City Fire District maintains a fleet of wildland firefighting apparatus with foam and drafting capabilities. A water tender containing 3600 gallons of water is ready for deployment on large incidents or remote areas where water supply is limited or unavailable.

The Fire District works with the community to prepare fire plans for high risk areas. These plans outline escape routes, fire attack strategies, detailed maps, anticipated fire behavior and much more. We currently have fire danger signs posted at entrances to areas with wildland-urban interface displaying the risk of fire as low, moderate, high or extreme.

Park City Fire purchased a wood chipper several years ago and introduced our "Fuel Reduction Program". The program aids in the removal of dead wood and debris from local properties thereby increasing "defensible space" and decreasing possible life and property loss due to a large fire.

Now, what can you do to prepare for late summer wildland fires???
