Battalion Chiefs

Draper Fire operates a crew of over 65 firefighters in three platoons, who rotate shifts and fire stations on a regular basis. Paramedic, fire safety, special situation rescue, and many other skills and training are required to keep our city safe and protected from natural disaster, wildfire, and a host of other emergency situations. 

Meet the Draper City Fire Department Battalion Chiefs who manage our platoons and the multitude of operations they implement to keep our city and its residents safe and protected.
