IAFF Local 2970 West Valley City Fire Fighters

West Valley City Firefighters Association

International Association of Firefighters Local 2970



Who We Are:

The West Valley City Firefighters Association is the local chapter of the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF). We also belong to the Professional Firefighters of Utah (PFFU). Membership is voluntary, and is available to current and retired members of the West Valley City Fire Department. Dues are paid by all members to maintain their active status.

What we do:

The West Valley Firefighters Association advocates for safe staffing levels to provide effective firefighting and emergency medical responses that allow us to protect the public and reduce firefighter injuries and deaths.

We advocate for fair pay and benefits to keep West Valley Firefighters competitive compared to surrounding cities.

We advocate for fair pension and retirement plans. Firefighters generally can only work 20-30 years because of the physical nature of the job.

We contribute time and money to many charities such as the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), Burn Camp, National Fallen Firefighters Fund, etc.

How you can help us:

Do ALL of your shopping in West Valley City. Sales tax collected in West Valley City helps to fund a better fire department.

Vote for firefighter friendly political candidates and contact your current senators, representatives, city council members, and any other politician that you can. Ask them to vote for measures that fund your fire department and protect you and your family.

Thank you for your support!
