Fruitland Fire Fair News Release:

Available for immediate Release
Run through May 27, 2017

========================

With all of the moisture received in our area this winter the grasses and wild flowers will be thick and as their green beauty fades, they will die quickly leaving flash fuel for wild land fires.

In our very windy basin, wild land fires can spread through grasses and trees very quickly taking homes, buildings and structures too.

Last year at Fort McMurray Canada, an area the size of Roosevelt was completely burned to the ground by a wild land fire.

The national weather service is predicting that the monsoons that usually keep our area wet and hold our wild fire danger down will arrive about 4-6 weeks late this year.

Because of this we are advising everyone to work on their “Defensible Space” to remove tinder fire fuel from homes, cabins and out buildings.

Clean fire fuel away from structures for at lease 30 feet. This will help keep fast moving fires away from your home or cabin and keep fire fighters safer in the event that they need to protect your home or cabin.

In conjunction with this upcoming fire season,

The Fruitland Fire will be Saturday May 27th from 10 to 4
at the Fruitland Fire Station located at the main intersection on Hwy 40 in Fruitland Utah.

Admission is free and there will be vendors for shopping and serving food, games and freebies for kids, home fire prevention tips, brochures and demonstrations for all.

For everyone’s enjoyment all of the fire trucks, ambulances, police cars, and special equipment will be on display.

PLUS Fun, practical and some very expensive Door prizes and gift certificates are given away to those in attendance every 5-7 minutes throughout fair hours.

Vendor spaces are free this year and there are only a few left so act quickly.
