The Union Fire District has officially transitioned from unionfiredistrict.com to unionfiredistrictri.gov. This change reflects our ongoing commitment to public trust, cybersecurity, and clear communication.

Why We Made the Change

The .gov domain is reserved for verified government organizations in the United States. By moving to a .gov address, we are reinforcing that the Union Fire District is an official public safety agency, and that the information we provide is accurate, secure, and trustworthy.

Benefits of a .gov Domain

Security: The .gov domain is managed by the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and includes stricter security and verification requirements than commercial domains. This makes it significantly more difficult for malicious actors to spoof or impersonate our website.

Public Trust: In a digital landscape where misinformation and fraudulent websites are increasingly common, the .gov domain signals to the public that our site is a credible source of information.

Accountability: Only verified government agencies can obtain a .gov domain. This ensures transparency and strengthens the legitimacy of our communications.

What You Need to Know

All traffic to unionfiredistrict.com is now automatically redirected to unionfiredistrictri.gov. While no action is required from the public, we recommend updating any bookmarks or saved links to reflect the new domain.

We appreciate your continued support and look forward to serving the community under our new, more secure online presence.
