History
The Alpine fire department was formed in 1943 as a volunteer fire department. In January 1995 the two communities of Alpine and Highland joined and formed the Alpine/Highland Fire District. In July 1996 the Alpine/Highland Public Safety District was formed, combining the fire, ambulance, and police under a district board. Effective July 1, 1998, the Fire and EMS departments were combined under one leadership. Craig Carlisle was appointed the first full-time fire chief in June 1998. With the addition of Cedar Hills as a member of the Public Safety District, the District Board has changed the name of the District to Lone Peak Public Safety District. The district is governed by a board made up of 5 members representing each of the three cities and a Public Safety Director. The Lone Peak Fire District began a full-time Paramedic Service in September, 2000.
