Swipe to see the NEW TRUCK…
Did you know? When our firefighters are battling long and demanding scenes, we have a dedicated truck to help them stay strong and focused!
The Air & Light Truck, stationed at Station 115 in Copperton, plays a crucial role in firefighter rehab. It provides fresh air tank refills, hydration, and small snacks to keep our crews fueled and ready for action. Firefighting is an intense job, and endurance is everything; this truck ensures our responders have the support they need when the alarms go off.
Shoutout to the dedicated team that keeps this operation running smoothly!

After every call, we move quickly to clean up and reset; not just because we take pride in our work, but because lives depend on it. We need to be ready to roll at a moment’s notice for the next emergency. Properly cleaning and storing our hoses, gear, and equipment ensures they stay in top condition, keeping both firefighters and the community safe. Plus, a clean firehouse is a functional firehouse; staying organized means we can respond faster when every second counts.

Have you ever seen one of our Heavy Rescue rigs on the road and wondered, “What’s that mean?”
We have two Heavy Rescue units that operate out of stations 117 (Taylorsville) and 121 (Riverton). These firefighters have learned and been certified in additional technical rescue techniques beyond basic firefighting responsibilities. These include:
-vehicle and machinery extrication
-structural collapse
-confined space
-trench collapse
-rope rescue
-rapid intervention (firefighter rescue)
These images show both training and on scene incidents from our crews, who are always prepared for whatever situation is placed in front of them.

ME 117 and units from South Salt Lake Fire and Murray Fire responded to this fire near the Jordan River. The fire was quickly contained with no damages to surrounding structures.
Although we have received moisture over this last week and temperatures have remained cold, unattended fires can become a problem.
Here are a few campfire tips to remember:
1. Check local fire restrictions to ensure you can build a fire in any given location.
2. Build a fire in a designated area using a fire pit or ring.
3. Keep the fire small and under control.
4. Never leave the fire unattended.
5. Make sure the fire is completely out before leaving.
Following these simple tips can ensure that you and your crew safely enjoy your camp fire. And who doesn’t love a good camp fire?
