Congratulations to our newest North Tooele Firefighters!

Today we celebrated the Tooele County Fire Academy 2026 graduating class. These firefighters, along with those from Tooele County Fire, Tooele City Fire, Grantsville Fire, Stockton Fire, and Vernon Fire marked the end of a 6 month journey that started as strangers, continued as cadets, and ended as firefighters. Somewhere along that line, they became something even more significant. Family.

Congratulations Firefighters. Now go clean the truck. 😉
