How it Began
The Clinton City Fire Department was formed in 1975 with a dozen spirited volunteers under the direction of Fire Chief Lloyd Brown. The department received 2 old fire engines (a 1944 Seagraves and a 1943 Chevrolet) from the Utah Forestry Service.

The Clinton City Fire Department takes great pride in its training and education programs providing many opportunities to gain more knowledge and experience.
Community Involvement
The Department also provides First-Aid and CPR opportunities to its community members upon request. Station personnel are always willing to facilitate with station tours, however, it is recommended to call and make appointments when possible.
The Fire Department and its members are more involved with its community than by merely responding to over 1,000 emergency calls per year. Countless hours are spent at local activities and safety fairs, visits with local schools to teach the kids about fire safety. The Clinton Fire Department also participates in fund raises for organizations such as Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).
CERT Program
The Clinton City Fire Department is currently establishing a city-wide
CERT program in conjunction with the Citizen Corps Program
