Burn permits
Planning to burn?
Yard waste, a ditch bank or a field: send a burn permit request before you burn. A request is not a permit. Do not burn until the department issues yours.
Services
Fire.Rescue.Community.
Spring City's volunteer fire department answers structure fires, wildfires, vehicle accidents and search-and-rescue calls. Between calls, it handles burn permit requests, welcomes new volunteers and raises money for gear.
Emergency? Call 911.
Fire, smoke, a crash or someone missing: call 911 right away. Never report an emergency through a form, email or social media.

03 · Mutual aid
Neighbors help neighbors.
Spring City is part of North Sanpete mutual aid. When a fire or a rescue is more than one department can handle on its own, neighboring departments send people and trucks to help, and Spring City does the same for them.
Fire departments across Utah, paid and volunteer alike, back each other up this way.
