South Salt Lake pay is one of the top departments in the state. ISO 1 rated with new heavies. has 3 stations with plans just approved to remodel the oldest station. Vacation and sick time is good. Overtime is occasionally available, but never mandatory. All full-time staffing, no part time employees on the floor. Ambulances are staffed by 1 paramedic and 1 EMT at a minimum. All sattions run as a company to all medical and fire calls in their respective services areas.
The Fire department also runs Ambulances which forces all the firefighter ranks to spend time on the box transporting homeless people to the hospitals. When you are on the ambulance you are also not allowed to go to all the structures fires in the city. The Fire department gives the medics breaks from the ambulance by putting them on the fire trucks in which they haven’t been on in months. You would think this dept which pays well and has great vacation would attract bad ass fireman but it’s does not… There is also no training facility at this dept.
