The Moab Valley Fire Department is welcoming back its FireBREAK seasonal mitigation crew to continue efforts to reduce wildfire risk throughout the Moab Valley. The crew is scheduled to work through the winter months to address hazardous fuel loads in critical areas.
Wildfire Risk Mitigation Efforts
The FireBREAK crew will focus its efforts on removing hazardous and invasive fire fuels from creek corridors and other critical areas. These locations are situated adjacent to dense neighborhoods and important infrastructure, according to a social media post from the agency on Oct. 25, 2026.
According to the Moab Valley Fire Department, the primary goal of the crew is to reduce the risk of a catastrophic fire within the Moab Valley. The agency noted that the work aims to empower local residents to make their individual properties more resilient to wildfire threats.
Community Resources and Information
The agency stated that the crew's activities are a central component of the broader FireBREAK campaign, which is designed to decrease wildfire risk across the region.
The Moab Valley Fire Department has encouraged residents interested in reducing their own wildfire risk to visit firebreakmoab.org. The agency's website includes a 'Reducing Wildfire Risk' page containing species-specific removal instructions and a list of local arborists and landscapers.
Ongoing Fire Prevention
The seasonal work by the FireBREAK crew represents an ongoing effort by the Moab Valley Fire Department to manage fuel loads and protect the community from fire hazards.
