PUBLIC SAFETY / FIRE CHEIF
Kanab Fire Department is a volunteer department
serving the citizens of Kanab City and Kane County.
We have apparatus consisting of 2 engines, 1 truck,
3 brush trucks, 1 rescue / extrication truck, and the
county also houses 2 ambulances at our station. Our
main station is located at 601 South 100 East in
Kanab. We have a 2nd station in the Ranchos area that
is currently used for storage. We have an average of
20 fire personnel on our roster, six of whom are also
Emergency Medical Technicians with the Kane County
Ambulance Service. We meet weekly on Thursday
evenings at 1900 hrs, and train during that time on
the different skill we are required to use. We accept
applications any time and start new trainees as
positions are available on a quarterly basis.
Kanab City has a good hydrant system that we use for
water supply. We have an agreement with Kane County
to provide fire supression to homes in the county and
to help with wildland fires. We also have an agreement
with Fredonia, Arizona, which is 7 miles to the south.
During the year there are several times that we call on
each other for help at fire scenes. Another service we
provide is the use of our rescue truck. It contains
water, lights, and extrication equipment. We run on
several automobile accidents each year with the
ambulance to help extricate victims from vehicles,
to provide scene lighting, or just to provide man
power. We have an ISO rating of 5. We try to provide
the best possible response and protection we can by
keeping current on standards and equipment. For
questions or other information, feel free to contact me.
