🔥 Fire School 101 🔥
Every year our union, Local 1696, hosts a hands on event for our local community leaders and media members to learn and experience what being a firefighter is all about. This is done in full support from our UFA leaders and hosted on UFA training grounds.
Additionally, crews are brought out to demonstrate some of our specialty programs like hazmat, heavy rescue rope rescue, bomb dogs, medical response on a full arrest, and a fire suppression demonstration with a victim and flying them out with AirMed. @UofUAirMed
Thank you to all the communities that participated this year!

Utah Guide Dogs for the Blind brought their puppies to Station 117 for annual training. This group takes puppies and does the initial training and socialization before they go to dog college to become seeing-eye dogs. The dogs are taken to sporting events, city streets, shops
restaurants, and any place a blind person might go. This is the second year the dogs and their trainers have come to Station 117 to acclimatize the dogs to fire engines and firefighters. There’s nothing better than dogs and firefighters.
One of our priorities as firefighters is to engage with the communities we serve, educate both young and old on safety and preventative measures they can take, and to build relationships in every way possible.
Station 102, C platoon crew has been going to Magna Elementary throughout this school year and doing just that through our Adopt A School program. They spent a morning teaching kitchen and grill safety, fitness importance, and tour of the engine.
Thank you @magnaelementary for having us this school year!
