Salt Lake City Wildland Fire Resources / Free Home Assessment

How it works

Salt Lake City Fire Department invites residents and businesses in Salt Lake City wildland areas to request a free assessment of their property. The page also serves as a wildfire preparedness hub, linking to planning, alerts, map resources, and local wildland-urban interface information.

What the service covers

The assessment is meant to provide tips to protect an occupancy from a wildland fire. The page also points homeowners to wildfire-preparedness topics including defensible space planning, wildfire evacuation zones, fireworks-restricted areas, and building a 96-hour emergency kit.

Local wildfire hardening context

The page says Salt Lake City Fire Department recommends FireWise for defensible space planning. It notes that WUI landscape requirements are best-practice guidance and that specific landscape requirements for WUI Zone properties are still being developed as part of a WUI code implementation plan.

How to apply

The page provides a "Request an Assessment" action for people who live or work near the foothills of Salt Lake City. No application form, approval process, or required documentation is listed on the page text provided.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not list a deadline, reimbursement window, or closing date. It indicates that wildfire evacuation zones exist on the east side of Salt Lake City and that fireworks are restricted in certain areas during only certain times of year.
