One of the largest groups that the Cedar City Fire Department delivers their fire prevention & safety message to is the Iron County School District second graders. In the spring of each year, over 900 children and their teachers participate in Life Safety Week.
In addition to safety presentations made by Police, Goldcross EMS, Cedar Communications, BLM and DNR Fire service professionals, the children tour the fire station and visit our life safety house.
The life safety house is a two-story structure, dedicated in September 2008, which has a fully furnished kitchen, living room, bathroom, and two bedrooms. The life safety house activity gives the children a first-hand look at various aspects of safety in the home. One of the highlights of the life safety house is a bedroom that fills with smoke, a sounding smoke alarm, and a window escape jump onto a foam mat. Once clear and at their meeting place, the children are taught by dispatchers what they need to know when calling 9-1-1.
This event would not be possible without the assistance from all the professionals mentioned and our very own dedicated firefighters that provide their safety messages to the children, parents and teachers.

A request for wildland fire support was made to Utah through as Texas faces elevated fire activity and challenging conditions.

Utah has deployed four Wildfire Task Force teams — comprised of personnel from and local cooperators — to assist in Jourdanton, San Angelo, Lubbock, and Mineral Wells, Texas.

Crews will operate 12-hour shifts, providing continuous coverage over the coming weeks. Texas is actively promoting fire prevention measures and burn bans, and additional resources will help strengthen response efforts during this period of heightened risk.

Current conditions in Texas are primed for extreme fire behavior, with low relative humidity, high temperatures, and receptive fuels increasing the potential for rapid fire growth.

Always plug your space heater directly into a wall outlet. Never use an extension cord or surge protector, as they can overheat and start a fire. Keep the heater at least three feet away from anything flammable and never leave it unattended.

This photo is from an incident where an overheated surge protector caused significant damage.

Merry Christmas!

“A Firehouse Christmas Eve”
It was Christmas Eve night,
And all through the station,
Every firefighter slept sound,
After a long, rough rotation.
The bunkroom was quiet,
Except for the snores,
And a few muffled laughs
Through the half-open doors.
The Captain had settled,
His helmet put away,
Hoping no tones would drop,
No calls before day.
But then came a sound,
From out in the bay,
He rose from his bed,
To see what it could say.
He crept past the lockers,
Boots silent on floor,
And there stood a stranger,
By the engine’s red door.
A jolly old man,
In a coat trimmed with white,
Gazing at the fire truck,
Tears glinting in the light.
The Captain approached him,
And gently spoke low,
“Are you all right, old timer?
What brings you in snow?”
The man turned around,
With eyes wet and red,
“I’m Santa,” he whispered,
And here’s what he said:
“I thought of your brothers,
Who’ve fallen this year,
Of the courage they carried,
And how they knew no fear.
“I saw the black helmets,
The soot on the gear,
And thought of those moments,
When help wasn’t near.
“I thought of the crashes,
And fires you face,
Of every life saved,
With honor and grace.
“I thought of the families,
Who wait through the night,
Praying their firefighter
Comes home all right.”
The Captain stood still,
As Santa wiped a tear,
His voice softly trembling,
Full of sorrow and cheer.
“How do you keep going?”
Asked Santa with pain,
The Captain replied,
“With heart — not for gain.”
Just then the tones blared,
A call through the air,
The Captain sighed,
“There’s someone out there.”
He shouted, “Gear up!”
And the crew hit the floor,
Sliding down poles,
Heading out once more.
Santa watched silently,
As the truck rolled away,
Its lights cut the darkness,
Turning night into day.
He whispered, “Thank you,”
To those brave and true,
“To every firefighter,
For all that you do.”
“May God keep you safe,
Wherever you roam,
Guide you and guard you,
Till you all make it home.”🚒🔥❤️...!
