They were honored to participate in the ceremonial events, paying tribute with professionalism, respect, and dignity to all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
A quick shout out to our UFA family and friends that participated in last week’s University of Utah Burn Camp 5K race!

Today we celebrate Battalion Chief Brian Anderton as he concludes a nearly 30 year career!
He began his journey in 1993, working part time for Bountiful Fire/South Davis Metro Fire, then full time in 1996 with Salt Lake County Fire/Unified Fire Authority. While full time with us, he continued another 12 years part time with South Davis Metro.
Chief Anderton has fulfilled many roles, including firefighter, Captain, Public Information Officer, and Battalion Chief while serving in a variety of divisions- from Medical Training to Fire Training to Operations.
He’s also been involved in our Honor Guard throughout his tenure.
Congratulations sir and best wishes in all your future endeavors!
This week, we recognize the people behind the scenes who make everything we do possible.
From the moment a call comes in, our dispatchers are the calm voice in the chaos. They gather critical information, send the right resources, and keep constant track of crews in the field to make sure everyone goes home safe.
We simply cannot do our job without them.
Our partnership with our dispatch center, along with the police departments and neighboring fire agencies we work alongside, is what allows us to operate as one coordinated team for the communities we serve.
A special thank you to Unified Police Department for the inspiration behind this video.
During Dispatch Appreciation Week, we want to say thank you. Your work often goes unseen, but it never goes unappreciated. We are grateful to have you behind us every step of the way.

🔥House Fire🔥
At approximately 11:00 AM this morning, UFA along with @westvalleycityfire units, were dispatched to a reported house fire in Magna City following multiple 911 calls. Dispatch received conflicting address information due to wind conditions pushing smoke into several surrounding neighborhoods, contributing to location confusion.
Crews quickly located the home where they encountered heavy smoke and active flames showing from the rear of the house. Initial reports indicated the possibility of trapped occupants, prompting Battalion 13 to immediately assign Company 111 to conduct an unprotected interior search (without a hose line). Fortunately, no occupants or pets were located inside the residence.
Firefighters quickly transitioned to an aggressive offensive fire attack. The seat of the fire was located in the attic space, and firefighters utilized aerial and roof operations to gain access and effectively knock down the fire.
After approximately 25 minutes of fire suppression, crews were able to bring the fire under control. Thanks to their rapid and coordinated efforts, the first floor and the majority of the second floor were successfully saved. However, the attic sustained extensive damage.
We would like to recognize the quick and coordinated response of all responding units, including our partners at West Valley City Fire, whose actions were critical in gaining access, locating the fire, and preventing further loss.
This incident remains under investigation.
