Utah Fire Caucus Photos

	The Utah Fire Caucus is a non-partisan organization patterned after the Congressional Fire Services Caucus. Like the CFSC, Utah Fire Caucus members are not required to take specific positions on legislation. Rather, they are asked to pledge support in a way that best benefits fire departments within their respective legislative districts. Each year firefighters come to Salt Lake City from fire departments across the state to touch bases with their legislators at the annual Utah Fire Caucus luncheon.
