LONE PEAK CONSERVATION CENTER The Lone Peak Conservation Center (LPCC) hosts 4 crews and 2 engines for incident and non-incident assignments. The primary focus is to provide well trained wildfire response resources. Season duration ranges between 3 and 6 months for LPCC resources. Season start and end dates are staggered between the crews and engines to provide resource availability over lengthening fire seasons. LPCC resources also complete natural resource projects for the state or interagency partners when not on fire assignment. LPCC has a full-time fire, support, and overhead staff of 32, with an annual seasonal workforce that can range from 74–80. More information can be found at (https://lonepeak.utah.gov) - for QR Code see 1.3 on page 11.

LPCC resources are ordered through the Northern Utah Interagency Fire Center (NUIFC). LPCC will notify the State Fire Management Officer (FMO) when LPCC resources are ordered. If resources are positioned outside the NUIFC area, those resources may be dispatched by the local interagency fire dispatch office. The Lone Peak and Alta Interagency Hotshots are National Resources and will be utilized and dispatched in accordance with the procedures established for national resources. LPCC resources are self-supporting and crew leaders are capable of procuring logistical support items required for project and incident assignments. LPCC crews come fully trained, certified and equipped to safely complete assignments within their scope of training and qualifications.
