Garden City Fire Protection District and Ambulance Service

Due to a motor vehicle accident, N Hwy near Obannon is completely closed and to avoid the area.

Due to a significant water issue we will be issuing a burn ban for a district until issue has been resolved. Once again thank you for your cooperation.

Once again we are asking and strongly encouraging people to not burn today. Please share this info and we thank you for your cooperation.

We are asking due to weather conditions that people hold off burning. Units are becoming overwhelmed and exhausted through out the county and surrounding counties. At this moment almost every apparatus is currently tied up in the county. Please pass this on to anyone that you know who may want to burn.

Weather Damage info.

Bu...rning should be avoided today and if there is going to be some grilling or tailgating out there today, keep an eye on those open flames. See more

It’s a fact: if your smoke alarm was installed before February 1, 2010 it needs to be replaced!
