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)

04-27-22 This evening in kearns we had multiple fires, one of which we relied heavily on our neighbors at West Valley Fire (big thank you!) while our kearns crews were battling another.
This fire in particular broke out just before 6pm. The home was unoccupied at the time and the fire was fortunately contained to a single room, leaving the rest of the home untouched. The cause is currently under investigation.
You know how important it is to have working smoke alarms, escape plans, and a designated meeting place in case of a fire. But did you know that closing your doors in your home is also important for your safety? Closed doors can reduce fire growth, limit damage to your home, keep temperatures down, and can even save your life if you become trapped.
We’re here at today’s job fair at Hunter High School talking with students about future possibilities with UFA! Come by and see us, we’re here until 6pm! @chamberwestutah @hhswolverines @taylorsvillecity @graniteschools @jordandistrict @saltlakecc
UFA hosted an airway academy today taught by local physicians and medics.
Knowing how to establish and maintain an airway for our patients is critical; which is why we practice and drill on the skills so often!

Crews worked a structure fire in Millcreek this morning. One patient was treated with minor smoke inhalation with no transport. Cause of fire determined as accidental.
