On 02-19-22 the Utica Fire Department Historical Society was formed. This group is made up of current and former firefighters, fire buffs and community members with the express purpose of educating the general public in and documenting the 148 year history of the Utica Fire Department.

Short term goals include planning for and celebrating the 150th anniversary of the department in 2024. This will include producing a 150 year history book to be released in 2024, during the sesquicentennial celebration of the Utica Fire Department. Social media sites that will document the 150 year history of our department. Other events are planned for that year including open houses at each Fire Station with a community event to include tours, fire prevention demonstrations, information on our history, and the services the department currently provides. We also plan on having a 150 year commemorative patch and challenge coins.
