A Small Part of a Long Lineage...

In 2017, the South Davis Metro fire union was born, marking an important moment in a longstanding tradition of firefighter solidarity by becoming the 2416th fire department union to join the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF). This pivotal creation not only cemented a local commitment to enhanced workplace rights and safety but also strengthened the broader network of unionized firefighters dedicated to advancing labor standards and community protection.
