About Us

Since it began in the 1970's, the Cedar Fort Volunteer Fire Department covers the second largest response area in Utah County, which encompasses a staggering 214 square miles. The department has six trucks total. We have a Rescue, an Engine, a Brush Truck, a Heavy Brush, a Tender, and a an Aux, and we are hoping to get an Ambulance in the near future. Out of the 214 square miles we cover, 200 miles of it is open area where there are no paved roads, they are difficult to access and where small blazes can quickly become a serious issue. It is also common for this department to be called in as an aid to battle other fires across Utah County.

Five Mile Pass is an area which most of the trails are for ATV use, which makes it a very dangerous place for people to drive. As it so happens, this area is a very popular recreation place during both holidays and summer weekends, therefore it is not uncommon to see thousands of people visiting the area on any one day.
Last but not least, the Cedar Fort Fire Department is also responsible for the town of Fairfield. We are often called to assist in motor vehicle accidents, off road accidents as well as fires.
