Breaking News:
Santa was sighted in @cottonwoodheights this evening at the Swenson Family Christmas party. Did you know Santa ditched his sleigh for the new 2022 Kia Optima? How do we know you ask? Well, let’s just say Santa isn’t too savvy on motor vehicles and locked his keys in the car. Special thank you to our Cottonwood Heights crew at St. 116 for assisting him into his locked out vehicle. Does this mean we get an automatic pass for the “Nice” list? 😂

Help us out!
Snowmageddon 2021 is over for now, and while you’re busy digging out after the storm, don’t forget to clear a path around the fire hydrant. A 3ft area around the hydrant is what we’ll need to access it in case of an emergency. Thank you for helping out!

Tears flow from the USS Arizona.
On this day, 80 years ago, our country was forever changed when 2,300 service members lost their lives at Pearl Harbor.
We remember those who died in the line of duty and the courage of those who fought for our country in the days that followed. We will never forget and we will always remember December 7th 1941, a date which will live in infamy.
Thank you for your service.
100 yrs ago today, 29 firefighters started as the first for Salt Lake County.
A century of service brings a lot of change. More firefighters, new stations and a name change to Unified Fire in 2004 to name a few.
One thing remains constant and that’s our commitment to service!
A Tribute-
Captain Bone passed away on October 31, 2021, due to complications with COVID-19. His passing was recognized as a LODD (Line of Duty Death).
Captain Bone started his career with Salt Lake City Fire where he held the ranks of Firefighter and Paramedic. He was also a member of the Heavy Rescue Program and an active member of UTTF1 where he was deployed multiple times including NYC following the events of September 11th, 2001.
Captain Bone retired from SLCFD, after 20yrs, in 2006 and joined Unified Fire Authority shortly after as a Paramedic in August of 2006. During his career at Unified Fire Captain Bone held the ranks of Paramedic and was most recently Promoted to Captain, in 2013, and called Station 111 A in Magna, home.
While at Unified Fire, Merrill was a member of the Heavy Rescue Program and continued as an active member of the UTTF1 team.
Captain Bone has been a very influential member of the Fire Service not only to those in the Salt Lake Valley but Nationally. Merrill’s legacy will live on in the lives of those he helped mentor in his 35 years of dedication to the service of others.
Captain Bone, although you may be gone you will never be forgotten.
Thank you to all who have served or are currently serving this great nation especially those working for Unified Fire.
“It’s a law many people break every day that 70 percent of Americans don’t even know exists.”
Everyday emergency responders across Utah work tirelessly to help save lives at the scene of traffic incidents. Across the country every year hundreds of emergency responders representing fire, law enforcement, emergency medical services, towing and transportation agencies are struck and either injured or killed while responding. Since 2018 in the State of Utah, 97 fire apparatus and 81 ambulances have been struck by a moving vehicle while parked on scene of an incident.
Unified Fire wants to remind motorists to MOVE OVER FOR ANY VEHICLE WITH FLASHING LIGHTS ON THE HIGHWAY.
We have a few tips that can help keep each other safe:
* Move crashes with no injuries off to the next exit
* Slow down and move over when approaching traffic incidents
* Give the road your full attention
