The history of the Ural Institute of Fire Fighting Service began on April 17, 1929, when the Ural regional fire-technical courses were opened. Since then, the educational institution has been continuously growing, updating the material and technical base and several times changed its name, before in 2002 it received its current name - the Ural Institute of the State Fire Service of the EMERCOM of Russia.
For several decades, April 17 was celebrated as the Day of the Soviet Fire Department. It was on this day in 1918 that the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars "On the organization of state measures to combat fire" was signed. Among other things, the document established the Fire Council and assigned the title of the position of the chairman of the council - the chief commissioner for insurance and fire fighting.
