CEDAR CITY — Cedar City is expected to approve a new interlocal fire protection agreement, allowing local departments to share the costs of fire services.
The Cedar City Fire Department has partnered with various local entities for about 55 years to provide fire protection services to Iron County, including Enoch, Kanarraville and the county, according to the council packet.
Nearly $9 billion of property is protected in that area, Cedar City Fire Chief Mike Phillips told Cedar City News.
In 2018, the department determined it was necessary to enter into a new agreement to account for changes to service, equipment and personnel, as well as skyrocketing prices and a need for new facilities, the packet states.
