Unified Fire crews from Eagle Mountain, Herriman, and Riverton, were recently dispatched to a house fire in Cedar Fort. Despite the distance to travel, the fire was stopped short of claiming the entire house and mostly restricted to the garage area.
Quick work by initial Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs crews kept it at bay. @saratogaspringsfire
We are pleased to be able to provide our support to neighboring communities and grateful for no injuries on this incident.

We have many specialties our firefighters can pursue as they navigate their career path. Currently, our in house Hazardous Materials ((Hazmat) Technician school is in session. We have 7 of our own firefighters a little more than halfway through our approximate 200 hour course. (We also have 2 Salt Lake City Fire Captains going through with us).
All firefighters earn an initial Hazmat Ops and Awareness certification, which teaches basic Hazmat response, chemical identifying, using metering/monitoring devices, defensive operations, and decontamination techniques.
Hazmat School goes much further teaching basic chemistry, how chemicals may react with each other and other natural elements, proper handling of minor to major spills or leaks, PPE selection, mitigation and offensive actions, rescue, container identification, decontamination, and incident command, among many other details a hazmat incident might encounter.
This is one more way we prepare to serve the communities that put their trust in us!

Yesterday evening, UFA crews, with mutual aid support from West Valley Fire, responded to a structure fire in Kearns. We have seen multiple fires occur over the last few days throughout the valley. Reminder to please take necessary precautions to avoid these situations as best possible.
A charging lithium ion battery was possibly responsible for starting a shed on fire, which quickly spread to 3 other nearby sheds due to high winds.
A quick response stopped the fire before reaching surrounding homes, allowing all residents to be able to return home.
Please use your electric scooters, bikes, and other devices appropriately when charging.
-do not use extension cords
-only use manufactured charging cables compatible with your device
-do not leave devices charging overnight
-inspect batteries frequently, look for damage, swelling, or overheating
-charge your devices away from combustible materials
Stay safe everyone!

A difficult situation this morning as our crews responded to a significant hazmat incident involving an estimated 2,000 gallons of road tar that spilled into a parking lot and nearby stream.
Our Hazmat Team from Riverton Station 124 responded swiftly, deploying absorbent pads and containment booms to prevent further environmental impact downstream.
This was a challenging scene, but thanks to the quick work of our trained personnel, the spill was mitigated as quickly and safely as possible.
The scene has been stabilized and is now under investigation by law enforcement.
Shoutout to the dedicated professionals who handled this incident with precision and care.
