History

The Unified Fire Authority got its start on November 21, 1921, when the Salt Lake County Fire Department was formed.[2] Discussions for the formation of a unified department within the Salt Lake Valley began over half a century later in 1998. Salt Lake County Fire had been providing emergency services to several contract cities in addition to the Unincorporated Salt Lake County.[2] These cities wanted to play a more active role in the fire administration. In 2004, the department ceased operation as a County government entity and became the Unified Fire Authority.
