Wildfire Safety and the Wildland Urban Interface
In 2025 the Utah State Legislature passed House Bill 48 establishing wildfire prevention requirements for municipalities, including Interlaken, that are located within the Wildland Urban Interface. This legislation affects ALL homes within Interlaken. Follow this link to find out more about HB 48, the WUI, and what is required of homeowners to comply with these "FireWise" requirements.
Additional Fire Safety Information
Community Fire Planning - FFSL Agreement
Interlaken Town has entered in an agreement with the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands (FFSL) to "cooperatively discharge their joint responsibilities for protecting non-federal land from wildland fire."
​
​​​​​A critical part of this agreement requires individual property owners to track the time and money they spend improving Interlaken Town's fire prevention and firefighting capability.
The town has an annual "Chipper Day" in which lot owners can pile burnable fuel removed from their property in front of their lot and the town will chip and dispose of that material. Please keep track of the time or money you spend on clearing burnable material from your property, as this will be submitted to FFSL as part of this agreement. A photographic record of before and after may also be useful.
​
If any other improvements are made to your home, such as installing a metal roof, or other modifications that would improve fire safety, please track the costs and time spent on such a project.​​
