Every year our union, Local 1696, hosts a hands on event for our local community leaders and media members to learn and experience what being a firefighter is all about. This is done in full support from our UFA leaders and hosted on UFA training grounds.
Additionally, crews are brought out to demonstrate some of our specialty programs like hazmat, heavy rescue rope rescue, bomb dogs, medical response on a full arrest, and a fire suppression demonstration with a victim and flying them out with AirMed. @UofUAirMed

Warm sunny weekend followed by some snow storms. Drive careful and remember to always wear your seatbelt. Keep children in an approved seat appropriate for their size.
Our crews responded to a crash up Little Cottonwood Canyon today on a car that crashed into a parked car. This is the reason we had to close the canyon while crews got the scene under control. After our teams render care and get scene control we work quickly to help other agencies get roads opened back up.
