Utah State Firefighters' Association

We, the members of the Utah State Firefighters’ Association, in order to form a more perfect organization, establish harmony of action, insure prosperity and success, provide pecuniary support, secure protection, promote the best interests of the firefighters of the State of Utah, compile statistics of information concerning the practical workings of the various systems and the merits of the various apparatus in use for the extinguishment of fire; also to cultivate fellowship between the firefighters of the fire departments of the State of Utah.

The Utah State Firefighters' Association, in cooperation with the Utah State Fire Marshal, the Utah Fire & Rescue Academy, and the Utah Fire Chiefs Association, is accepting applications for the Utah Firefighter of the Year Awards. The purpose of this Award is to honor Utah’s finest fire service personnel in several different categories. Click here for specific information on the categories, eligibility, and the process for nomination.

To increase camaraderie and attendance at the Utah State Firefighters' Association (USFA) Conventions, the Board of Directors feels it is in the best interest of the Association to offer a grant up to a maximum of $250.00 per firefighter, so members of the Association can attend annual conventions. This grant opportunity is available for all members who are in good standing with the USFA.

Grant applications and letters need to be submitted to the Secretary of the USFA no later than the first Friday in January of the year the applicant is applying for. At the January Quarterly meeting, the Board of Directors will review the applications and award the top qualifying members their grant. The monies that are awarded for the grant shall only be used for convention-associated activities. It shall be the responsibility of the grant recipient to submit receipts to the Treasurer of the USFA for the awarded $250 by the July Quarterly meeting so that those monies can be reimbursed. Below are the requirements of the applicant.
