COVID-19 Update
SLC Fire's daily operations continue to be impacted by COVID-19 and related concerns but due to the latest, encouraging trends, we are pleased to announce that some of our restrictions have been lifted. We have modified several department policies and protocols in response to these concerns and feel confident that the actions taken serve to protect both our workforce and the greater SLC community. A few precautionary measures currently in place are:
- SLC Fire is now open to schedule tours of our fire stations or participation in community events! Please submit a request on our website to schedule. We are excited about resuming our community partnerships and hope to see you soon!
- Over 80% of SLC Fire employees have been fully vaccinated
- All calls for medical assistance are treated as potential COVID-19 exposures and our firefighters wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when responding
- Patients requesting emergency medical assistance may be asked to meet first responders outdoors or in a large room whenever possible
- First responders may ask family members, friends, and bystanders to provide a safe distance (6 ft. or greater) from the responding crew members on any emergency scene
- Firefighters who are ill or have sick family at home are requested to stay home to recuperate, waiting to return to work until they are medically cleared to do so.
SLC Fire would like to express our gratitude to the community for all that you are doing to keep yourselves and your family safe. We're in this together!
