Uintah Fire Department Apparatus
The Uintah Fire Department serves a small but diverse and challenging community. The city is fairly unique in its small size with two major railroad tracks running through it, and being bordered by an Interstate Highway, a State Highway, and a popular recreation river, not to mention rolling hillsides and brush filled rural areas. To protect all of that, the city employs an Engine and two Specialized Brush Trucks.
