Wildland Firefighting and the Urban Interface
Logan has a great deal of wildland area that borders with the homes and yards. This area is called the Wildland/Urban interface and is protected by Logan firefighters. We currently have two specially built trucks called brush trucks (type 5 engines) available for these calls. Logan often helps other agencies fight wildfires and also receives help from them as well. This cooperation allows cities to spend less on equipment while still maintaining the needed resources to fight wildland fires. Logan is currently training new personnel in the positions of Crew boss and Engine Boss. These positions allow our firefighters to lead fire crews on larger fires inside and outside of Logan.
We, as firefighter, have a responsibility to fight fire aggressively and to protect lives and property. One of the best ways to do this is prevent fires from ever starting. Another way is to help citizens understand the dangers of fire and how they can help themselves if one does start. Please take the time to see what you can do to help and use the checklist to ready your home for the wild fires that are sure to come. Visit FireWise resources for more information.
