We will miss you Chief Smith! Thank you! ❤️

Draper City Fire Chief Clint Smith announced he is retiring at the end of November. Clint has spent 31 years in the fire service as both a firefighter and a paramedic. His career is impressive in every regard.

In 2017, the city council decided to start a Draper City Fire Department. I knew immediately who I wanted to appoint as chief. Clint is the son of former Mayor Darrell Smith. Darrell is a mentor and friend and is one of the hardest-working people I have ever known. I knew Mayor Smith and his wife Loni had instilled a strong work ethic in Chief Smith.

I remember he asked me why I wanted him to be the chief, and I told him because I knew he knew how to work, and forming a new department was a monumental task.

Chief Smith was appointed in 2017, and he went from being the only fire department employee to a fully staffed, functional fire department in only nine months. It was nothing less than amazing work. The fire department has been a powerful addition to the community, delivering top-level fire protection and emergency medical services.

Under Clint’s leadership, the fire department has rapidly evolved into a modern, well-trained, and very respected department. Clint modernized the fire apparatus fleet, established an exceptional wildland firefighting division, implemented seasonal wildland crews to proactively manage open-space fire risk, added community safety programs, and expanded training and opportunities for our dedicated fire personnel.

Not only is Clint a leading professional, but he's also a fantastic person. It has been an honor to have had him as our first chief and an even greater honor to call him my friend.

We will miss you, Chief Smith. Mission accomplished. Thank you for your service and the dedication you have shown to our community.
May your retirement be filled with proud memories of your work and service.
