Duchesne County Firefighter Service
In Duchesne County, we have seven Fire Departments serving the community. These firefighters dedicate several hours in training and fire calls every year. There are structural and wildland certified firefighters in Duchesne County. This is necessary because the two events pose very different hazards for the firefighter. These trained firefighters are a valuable asset to the county.
Duchesne County contributes tax dollars to the operation of the City Fire departments to cover county residents. There are four City Fire Departments and three County Departments. Duchesne County’s Fire Marshal coordinates the efforts of these Fire Departments and helps them achieve goals.
To help in preparedness, install a smoke alarm to give as much time as possible to get out of a burning house. As a family, plan for a fire so everyone knows what to do. Teach children about playing with fire and don’t place flammable products near any heat source.
During the spring/fall cleanup and burn season please be cautious when burning yard debris; never leave a fire unattended. When camping, remember to put out your camp fire when you are leaving.
