The agreement between fire departments specifies the areas in which one department will back up another, either by sending an engine immediately, or by answering a second fire call in the vicinity. For example, any fire north of 1800 N. will be responded to by the North View Fire Department, and by an engine from Weber County Fire Station No. 1 in the Weber County Industrial Park.
