How do I get more information on a fire Investigation?
The purpose of the West Jordan Fire Investigations Team is to conduct post-fire inquiries into the origin and cause of fires within our jurisdiction. If you would like more information about our fire investigations team or need to speak with someone about an open case, please call 801.260.7300.
Can I have a fire in my backyard?
An open pit cooking fire is allowed as long as it is located 25' from any building, fence, deck or anything that will burn. A source of water should be at hand to put out the fire, and the fire should not be left unattended. It is unlawful to burn leaves, tree limbs, or rubbish in your cooking pit. You are also responsible for the smoke produced by the fire. Please be considerate of your neighbors.
Can I ride along with the fire department?
While we appreciate the public interest in the work we do, we do not allow the general public to ride along. Because of issues related to limited space, patient confidentiality and potential exposure to biological hazards, riders are limited to EMT and paramedic students through prearranged programs.
