Woodland Hills Volunteer Fire Department
Woodland Hills, UT
160 West Oak Circle
Woodland Hills, UT 84653
Program Description:
We are a totally volunteer fire department. We are in the process of developing Standard Guidlines and Operations Manuals and need citizen volunteers to assist in the collection and development of these materials. Citizens are also needed to assist with grant-writing, enforcing local ordinances and regulations, and public education. We are building a new fire house - it has 6 bays. We have an older pumper, a 2 1/2 ton truck, and a new brush truck.
New State-Wide
Fire Corps Program
The Fire Corps of Utah is taking steps to solve an all too common problem - a large number of fire departments would like to have a Fire Corps program, but many do not have the resources to manage one alone. As a result, the state of Utah is taking the lead by creating a state-wide Fire Corp program that is managed by the Utah Office of the State Fire Marshal. Each region will have representatives to direct volunteers in their area to a department with needs that match the volunteers’ interests and abilities. Through this program, the Fire Corps of Utah will rise to the challenge of serving 2.5 million people spread over 84,000 square miles.

Why help your local
Fire/EMS Department?
Because you are Needed!
We all have a role in hometown security, and Fire Corps provides opportunities to embrace personal responsibility to be prepared, and at the same time give back to your community by volunteering to support your local fire and emergency departments.

Fire Corps not in your Community?
Start your own program.
There are several things you can do to help get a program started in your community:
- Contact your local fire/EMS department. Letting them know about the program and your interest in helping them is the first step. If you live in a community with a career (paid) fire/EMS department then the best first step is to contact the department's public information officer or Chief. If you live in a community that has a combination (paid and volunteer) or volunteer fire/EMS department, the best first step is to contact the departments Chief or President, or if they have one, their public information officer to inquire about starting a program. Remember they may have no knowledge about the program, so having information like the resources located at www.firecorps.org on-hand will be very helpful.

Program Description: We are just starting Fire Corps in Weber County. We met as the Fire Chiefs in our Weber County Fire Officers Association meeting and we decided to create one (1) Fire Corps for all of Weber County. We want to use FireCorps for all of the above referenced tasks that we checked above. I am the Director of Emergency Management & Homeland Security for our County and work very closely with all of the Fire Chiefs and have been given the "go ahead" to create this Corps. I also have created a County Citizen Corps Council, and as a regional director for Homeland Security in our 6 county region, have created a regional Citizen Corps Council. All of this is being coordinated and supported by all of the councils mentioned herein.
