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.

Early this morning, Unified Fire crews from Kearns and Taylorsville, with mutual aid support from West Jordan Fire, responded to a detached garage fire with heavy smoke and flames showing. An initial quick attack suppressed the growth and allowed crews an opportunity to get in and save as much property as possible.
This almost didn’t happen as the nearest hydrant was blocked by a parked vehicle. Fortunately, the angle of the supply hose coming off the hydrant still allowed for water access.
Please don’t park in front of fire hydrants. It’s a simple request. A simple action. Thanks.

Yesterday afternoon around 5:00 PM, crews were dispatched to the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon for a swift water rescue. An individual had been cold plunging in the river, got swept up in the very fast current, and had luckily been caught up on a small rock approximately 50 feet down river.
Initial crews secured the individual with a rope line, provided a helmet and flotation vest, and contemplated pulling them to shore. It was determined to not be safe enough and our Heavy Rescue units were dispatched for a high angle rope rescue. Secondary safety teams were set up down river with additional rope lines and a safety net as back up measures.
The victim was successfully removed from the river and able to return home.
This was a best case scenario but very easily could have turned out differently with its outcome.
Stay away from fast moving water. It’s much stronger than you realize and getting swept away happens in a moment. Additionally, Big and Little Cottonwood rivers are a part of our protected watershed and entering them is not permitted by state regulations.
Thank you to Murray Fire @murraycityfire for their assistance in the response.

After battling a fire on a scorching day, this sweet girl waited patiently just to hand out popsicles to our crews. It was such a refreshing gesture; thank you, Vivy! Moments like these remind us why it’s an honor to serve such incredible communities. 💛🍦🔥

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!
