Here’s another look at yesterday‘s house fire. Shout-out to all of our crews and mutual aid for their quick response!
Multiple UFA crews along with Murray City FD knocked down a structure fire in the Holladay area earlier this afternoon. Cause of the fire is under investigation.
UFA crews from Herriman, Taylorsville, and Riverton participated in Surface Water Rescue Training this past weekend at Blackridge Reservoir in Herriman City. This training is an effort to prepare for this year's warmer months by performing various rescue scenarios using lines and equipment to help sharpen their skills.
As we approach the summer months, this is an important reminder to always put safety first for all water activities.
Here are a few tips to keep you and your family safe:
✅ Always properly wear a life jacket
✅ Never swim alone
✅ Supervise children at all times
✅ Don’t play with swift water
✅ Stay within designated swim areas
✅ Swim sober
✅ Learn CPR
Congratulations to Recruit Class 55 on successfully completing 16 weeks of intense training!
Yesterday evening, we welcomed 22 new firefighters to the UFA family as they officially begin their careers in the fire service. We wish them the very best.
Please join us in congratulating our newest firefighters!

We are very proud to share with you the recipient of the Utah State Emergency Medical Services Bureau Award for "Course Coordinator of the Year". Unified Fire Engineer/Paramedic Richard Clayton has passionately dedicated the last two years as the Fire Science and EMS Course Coordinator for the Jordan Academy for Technology and Careers. Richard’s efforts have far exceeded the classroom. His passion in education and youth development has been highlighted through many of his students who continue to win HOSA (Health Occupational Students of America) EMT competitions at the State level. He is currently preparing many students for the international competition in June which will host nearly 5,000 delegates from around the country.
We are very proud of you Richard. Thank you for your example and for providing outstanding leadership to our future EMTs and Firefighters. (Side note- UFA has hired many of Richard’s students. We recently hired 5 students to join our wildland program this season and multiple part-time EMTs as well)
