August 18, 2025 Garden City Fire District Meeting Report
Reporter Randall Knight
The meeting started
on time with all board members present.
Nobody from the public was present.
Randall reported
there have been about 28 loads of dirt dropped off on the new fire department
lot and boundary stakes had been placed on the west and north sides of the
property. The survey company corrected
their information but the county recorder still doesn’t have a lot number or address.
The removed 20 foot long culvert will be for sell and listed on
Facebook.
A new Policy and Procedure will be made to sell fire district property or equipment that is no longer needed. The board authorized hiring a part time person to help the Chief with all of the maintenance of the equipment and building.
The state auditor’s office said that impact fees can be used for a fire truck purchase under $500,000, which contradicted the advice the fire district had been given in the past. Currently the impact fees are being used for the building addition so there isn’t extra funds for newer trucks at this time.
There has been 99 callouts this month so the district has had verified ALL of the Equipment is running well. A new high-pressure hose has been installed to replace the ruptured one that blew during a boat fire call. The BBQ on the 24th had a good turnout and the community had fun. Raspberry Days was surprisingly quiet, but the weeks around it were very busy with the following callouts:
2 brush fires, 1 BBQ fire on deck, 1 boat fire, 1 dumpster fire, 1 house/structure fire, 6 marine rescue calls, 6 agency assists, 7 CO calls, 2 propane leaks, 9 fire alarms, 4 vehicle accidents/1 heavy extrication, 3 STR inspections, 11 illegal fires/burning, 9 fireworks violations, 30 medical assists
As a special note, I would like to report that because of their extrication training the responding firemen were able to extricate a person from a vehicle and hopefully saved their life.
Also as a reminder the Fire Board meets every 3rd
Monday of the month at 6:30PM in the Fire Station and open to all residences to
come and voice any questions or concerns to the board.
JUST A LITTLE BEAR LAKE HISTORY by C. T. Buttars
For the early settlers, formal education in the Bear Lake Valley was challenging to say the least. In most instances, the people who attended schools and churches faced the difficulty of traveling many miles to gather together in a meeting house. Often, the same building was used on weekdays for school sessions, Saturdays for dances and gatherings, and Sundays for church meetings. “The first school opened in Laketown in 1869. It was held three months of the year and in a building that had a dirt floor and was also used for church meetings.” (published by Rich County Courthouse.gov.)
