While tactics and equipment have evolved over the years, our desire to protect and serve has never changed.
We express our most sincere and deepest condolences to our brothers and sisters at South Jordan Fire as they mourn their loved one, Corban Summers. We also would like to express our thoughts to his family and friends, may you all be blessed as you navigate this difficult time. ❤️
Earlier today, Heavy Rescue 121 was dispatched with South Jordan Fire units for an immersed vehicle. Prior to units arriving, bystanders were able to extricate the driver, while shortly after, units arrived and assumed care.
A throwback photo to some of our earliest firefighters in front of one of our stations. Did you know you can still see one of our original Salt Lake County Fire stations at about 4700 S State Street?
When BMW went in they kept the facade which is still there today!
Yesterday, our crews; alongside help from South Salt Lake, responded to a residential structure fire in Millcreek and were able to knock it down with a one-alarm response.
A fast, coordinated interior offensive attack is key to stopping this type of fire in its tracks. Great work by all crews on scene for keeping it quick, efficient, and safe.

Eagle Mountain City’s annual Easter Egg Hunt at Cory Wride Memorial Park never disappoints! Nearly 70,000 eggs were scattered across the park as thousands of families came out to celebrate. This year, the Easter Bunny made a grand entrance; with a little help from @uofuairmed for some epic photo ops!
Our UFA crews loved being part of the festivities and connecting with this amazing community. It’s always great to work alongside the @utahcountysheriff Office during events like this.
As we head into Easter weekend, we want to wish everyone a safe, joyful celebration with your loved ones!

We’re pleased to be able to provide mutual aid support to our neighboring agencies as emergencies arise.

Shoutout to our 123 C Platoon for going above and beyond in the most inspiring way! After delivering a patient to the ER, the crew didn’t stop there; they jumped in to assist during a critical incident when hospital staff were short-handed.
This act of selfless service, even when not required, is a true reflection of the heart, dedication, and excellence that defines Unified Fire. We’re proud to serve alongside heroes like you.
Thank you, 123 C Platoon, Captain Darrin Allen, Engineer Michael Sutton, Paramedic Christopher Hoerter, and Firefighter Greg Bell, you are INCREDIBLE!

With Spring being here, many of us begin cleanup around our properties. We find trash, leaves, green waste, tree trimmings, construction waste, even old tires and oils.
While convenient, burning these items is not permitted in Salt Lake County. Ever. Other counties may have varying regulations, including windows of burning with a
permit, please check before burning.
Recreational fires (gotta have them s’mores) are allowed with the following expectations in place:
-look for a green burn condition day
-cannot exceed 3 ft in diameter, 2 ft in height
-use dry, clean, natural materials
-using accelerants like gas is dangerous
-at least 15 feet from a structure
-keep an extinguisher or hose near
-never leave a fire unattended
And if there’s a neighborhood dispute over smoke emissions, the fire department is not able to provide any resolution to that.

When BMW Murray purchased the building it was contingent on maintaining the facade and keeping that bit of history alive.
