Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS)

If you have an emergency, please call 911 immediately.

Fire Chief: Craig Carlisle
Phone: 763-5365

The Lone Peak Public Safety District (LPPSD) currently operates under the leadership of Fire Chief Craig Carlisle with Brad Freeman as the assistant fire chief. There are an additional 35 part-time and volunteer employees that are trained to use skills in firefighting, rescue, and emergency medical treatment. There are approximately ten part-time firefighters and ten part-time paramedics that work 12 to 16-hour day and night shifts in addition to working full time for other agencies throughout Utah and Salt Lake counties.

The fire district covers a large area encompassing Cedar Hills, Alpine, Highland and American Fork Canyon. At this time, the main station is in Alpine, with operating stations in both Cedar Hills and Highland. The Alpine fire station houses a wide variety of apparatus and equipment, including a 75-foot aerial ladder truck, a front-line paramedic ambulance, and a smaller four-wheel drive ambulance. You will also find two well-equipped brush trucks, a 4,000 gallon water tender, and an all-purpose rescue vehicle equipped to perform vehicle extrication and rope or water rescues. Both Cedar Hills and Highland are privileged to have an ambulance, brush truck, and fire engine stationed in each city.

At last check, the LPPSD is the only emergency service agency in North Utah County to offer a full-time 24-hour-a-day paramedic service. This is a status that the citizens of Cedar Hills, Alpine, and Highland can be proud of. In fact, the only other agencies in Utah County to offer this level of service to their citizens are Provo and Orem cities. The Lone Peak PSD responds to over 800 emergency calls per year. About two-thirds of these calls are medical, and the other one-third are fire related or a combination of the two. Having a paramedic service, along with well-trained firefighters, offers peace of mind, knowing that you will be taken care of in your time of need with the most qualified and highly-trained people in the industry. All of the LPPSD part-time firefighters and most of the volunteers have been certified by the State to at least a Firefighter II level, which is the best training a firefighter can have other than years of experience. Most of these firefighters have also earned certifications in hazardous materials operations, wildland firefighting, and technical rescue.
