It’s formal photos time for Unified Fire Authority! Had to have a little fun with it. Capturing nearly 700 employees on a platoon schedule, across multiple divisions in multiple buildings across the entire county, and a sliver of Utah County, can be quite an undertaking! We’re glad we can have these photos for us to have in the future! #model #photoshoot #fire #headshot #firefighter | Unified Fire Authority
