GARDEN CITY, Utah. June 16, 2016.  The Garden City Fire District Governing Board held its regular monthly meeting. All board members were present. Business conducted included:

1) The governor has preemptively signed a proclamation about fire restrictions so that if and when it needs to be implemented it can happen without delay,

2) Open burning in the fire district has been banned since 6/15/16 (except in some approved fire pits (but not all)),

3) The rescue boat is completely functional and is on duty at the state marina,

4) Work continues on the Standard Operating Procedures manual, section by section,

5) Fire truck Brush 43 is repaired. The cost to repair the transmission was about $2,000 less than anticipated,

6) There was a residential brush fire in Bridgerland that was quickly suppressed,

7) There have been joint training exercises with personnel from Idaho concerning rescue operations on the lake and more are scheduled. The new radio on the rescue boat provided by Idaho has made joint communications much better.
