Treve Bailey has decided to retire, completing 20 years with the West Valley City Fire Department. Treve started out as an EMT firefighter, progressed in his career in becoming a paramedic, joining the tech rescue team, SWAT team, wildland firefighting, and also promoting to Critical Care Paramedic. He taught for the West Valley Fire Academy for many years, sharing his knowledge with many firefighters working today.
He always had a calm demeanor in any situation, but always knew how to bring the fun. There isn’t a story about Treve that doesn’t involve an amazing feat of strength. Whether the lesson was big or small, Treve was there to help progress the career of the people he worked with. He will never know the impact that he made on those he worked withβ€”and the stories won’t be quite the same without him!

We congratulate his 20-year career and hope the very best in retirement!

Our brother, Local 81 Firefighter Kade Martin, passed away surrounded by his family and friends on November 12 from job related cancer. Kade wasn’t just a dedicated firefighter, but also a dedicated father, son, and friend who was deeply loved by those who knew him. Please consider a donation below.

Kade loomed larger than life and served Salt Lake City with bravery, integrity, and professionalism. We are heartbroken at his untimely passing. Our Firefighters, Fire Department, and City are all better for his time here, and his legacy will live on through every one of us. We will never forget.

#Halloween is all about fun and frights, but dark streets, excited kids, and busy roads can pose real risks.

The #IAFF reminds families to use extra caution to help keep everyone #safe this Halloween:

🚸 Stick to sidewalks and well-lit areas: visibility saves lives.
πŸ’‘ Add reflective tape or glow sticks so drivers can see trick-or-treaters.
🍬 Check every piece of candy before eating. When in doubt, toss it out.
πŸ§™β€β™€οΈ Make sure costumes fit right and don’t block vision or movement.
πŸ• Keep pets secured. Constant doorbell rings can cause chaos.

Stay alert, stay visible, and have a safe Halloween! πŸ•ΈοΈπŸ•·οΈ
