This morning units from Unified Fire Authority, West Valley City Fire Department, South Salt Lake Fire Department, Murray Fire Department and West Jordan Fire Department responded to smoke in a commercial structure. A fire was located deep inside the structure prompting a call for a second alarm. Crews aggressively attacked and extinguished the fire.

Occasionally large fires require the efforts of multiple agencies to address the issue. It is amazing to watch this coordinated effort systematically address task after task leading to the eventual conclusion. Great work by all involved.

🔥 Incredible Heroism in Action 🔥

Today, our crews, alongside Draper and South Jordan Firefighters, faced a garage fire with an unexpected twist. As the flames spread to a firefighter’s turnout gear, fellow firefighters didn’t hesitate for a second. In a truly jaw dropping moment, they literally jumped onto the burning firefighter to help smother the flames, combining quick thinking and bravery to prevent a much worse outcome.

This is the firefighter mindset; we risk it all to save lives. When the situation is at its most dangerous, our team puts everything on the line to protect the public and each other. This act of selfless courage is what keeps our brothers and sisters safe. 🙏👨‍🚒👩‍🚒

In the event a high rise structure should experience a fire, multiple units would be dispatched from fire agencies throughout the county. The Utah Fire and Rescue Academy recently provided a county-wide training exercise where a simulated fire was reported in a six story building and units dispatched. This training took place over multiple days and locations to give nearly all on duty crews this training and experience. Thank you to @utahfirerescueacademy for their leadership and instruction, and @unifiedfire and @slcfire for hosting.

This video provides a glimpse into the response, some of the communications and assignments that would happen, and the organization of a potentially chaotic scene. We’re proud to let you know all ten fire agencies in Salt lake County participated in this training.

🚨 Carbon Monoxide: The Silent Killer You Can Stop! 🚨

A working, non-expired CO detector is essential for keeping your family safe. Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless gas that can build up without warning, especially in winter months when homes are sealed tight. Here’s why it matters and how to prevent exposure:

💨 Top CO Sources:
1. Fuel-burning appliances (furnaces, water heaters, stoves).
2. Vehicles in attached garages.
3. Improper ventilation of fireplaces or wood stoves.
4. Generators used indoors or in enclosed spaces.

🛑 Avoid CO Poisoning:
Test your CO detector monthly and check expiration dates.
Never run vehicles or generators in an enclosed area.
Ensure proper ventilation around fuel-burning appliances.
Schedule annual checks of heating systems by a professional.

Don’t risk it! Your CO detector is your first line of defense. Stay proactive and keep your home safe.
