Lone Peak Fire District

05/31/2026

This weekend, 9 of your wildland firefighters attended the Northern Utah Wildland Engine Training (NUWET) in Hyrum. We had a Type 3 engine, a Type 6 engine and the wildland ambulance attend. This 3 day training helps to “dust off the cobwebs” prior to the season REALLY kicking off. Training on maps, radios, navigation, helicopter operations etc. This training is paid for by the State of Utah, DNR. On the second day, there is a hose lay competition. All engines are split into 2 divisions, Alpha and Zulu. The Lone Peak engines finished 1st and 2nd in Division Alpha with Engine 3201 moving into the championship race against Weber Fire District. It consisted of a fire engine with no water and having to draft from the river then do a 375’ hose lay, climb up the slide, down the slide then spray water. All this to simulate protecting structures/homes In the end, LONE PEAK BROUGHT HOME THE WIN! Great job to bring home the trophy! More pics in the comments.

Incident Update – 5/3/26 | B Shift

At 22:02, units were dispatched to a reported garage fire in Alpine. Callers reported black smoke pushing from the garage, with all occupants confirmed out.

Crews arrived to a working fire and immediately stretched lines for fire attack. Access was made through a man door, with additional access gained by cutting the garage door to improve entry and ventilation.

The second-arriving unit conducted a primary search of the structure, confirming all occupants were out and no extension into the residence.

Quick, aggressive action led to a rapid knockdown, stopping the fire before it could extend into the home.

Strong work across the board. We appreciate the support from our neighboring departments and the fast, coordinated response from all crews on scene.

WILDLAND INFO.
Well, the wildland season has started. Our engine crew with Jackson, Dylan, Faith and Deputy Chief Beck are currently in Colorado on the Arapahoe Rosevelt National Forest. We were requested by name for this which is an honor. Name requests don’t happen very often. This happens through hard work, reputation and building relationships.

We have one person in South Dakota as a Strike Team leader as well. They have had a few small fires as well as some piles ignited.

Then there is Texas. If you follow our wildland crew over the last few years, you know they get name requested to go to Mineral Wells Texas. We unfortunately had to decline their request a couple months ago due to hiring, testing etc. Well, the town of Mineral Wells was hit 2 days ago by a EF3 tornado. Our friends are safe down there and our hearts go out to them and their recovery effort.

This morning around 7:00 AM, B shift responded to a power line down which sparked a fire in American Fork Canyon. With the lack of snow and water we have received this winter, we are anticipating a busier than normal wildfire/brush fire season.

After a long wildfire season last year, which started in January for us on the Palisades Fire in L.A., here is the end of season video. We have already been asked, and unfortunately had to turn down, a roll to our friends in Texas. We are gearing up for a long season this year due to the lack of snow/moisture the State and west have received.
