๐ New Fire Chief Takes the Helm at South Davis Metro
South Davis Metro Fire Service Area has officially named Jeff Larson as its new fire chief. A Bountiful native with nearly 30 years of emergency services experience, Larson told city leaders his focus will be on firefighter training, leadership development, and maintaining strong emergency response capabilities across the district.
South Davis Metro responds to roughly 7,500 calls each year, making leadership continuity and emergency preparedness important for residents throughout Bountiful, North Salt Lake, Centerville, and surrounding communities.
๐ฐ Kaysville Resident Finds $25,000 Treasure Above Farmington
A Kaysville man is celebrating a big payday after finding the $25,000 Utah Treasure Hunt chest hidden in the foothills above Farmington. Bobby Smalley solved a series of clues that led him to the Flag Rock and Patsy's Mine area, where he uncovered the treasure Saturday morning after an early-morning hike.
Beyond the prize money, the annual hunt shines a spotlight on local trails and landmarks, bringing outdoor enthusiasts to Davis County and highlighting some of Farmington's unique mountain history. ๐ Read More
