FY 2016 Appropriation

The Lone Peak Center was established in 1989 and provides services (specialized fire crews and education services) to multiple municipal, state, and federal customers. Two fire-engine teams are staffed with seasonal employees to add mobility and fire management services. These engine strike teams are to be financially self-supporting. In addition, the division hosts three fire suppression hand crews. One program hires 20 firefighters from the Utah Fire and Rescue Academy. Students sign up for an internship and complete the required training at the academy. The division organizes the 20 students as a fire crew and has successfully made it self-supporting.

Funding History

Appropriation Overview

During the 2015 General Session, the Legislature appropriated for Fiscal Year 2016, $3,559,700 from all sources for Lone Peak Center. This is a 21.1 percent increase from Fiscal Year 2015 revised estimated amounts from all sources.

A partnership with the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) created an Interagency Hotshot Crew (IHC) of state employees. A USFS agreement covers 75 percent of the cost. The program also performs various fuel reduction activities throughout the year to reduce the threat of future wildfires. Two of the ten-person crews are dedicated to hazardous fuels mitigation projects and are self supporting.
