Fire is family. And we lost two in a senseless act yesterday in Coeur d’ Alene, ID. We offer our deepest condolences to all those affected, their families, their fire families, and the community they serve. Take care of each other out there. ❤️
🎆 Utah, we love where we live, and it’s on all of us to protect this beautiful state we call home. As we celebrate our nation’s independence, let’s do it with pride and safety in mind. 🇺🇸
Fireworks are a tradition we all look forward to, but they come with real risks. Please remember:
🔥 Never light fireworks near dry grass or brush
🧯 Always have water or a hose nearby
👀 Keep a safe distance, and never relight a dud
👶 Supervise kids closely around all fireworks
🏠 Dispose of used fireworks by soaking them in water before tossing
Above all else, check out the incredible professional shows! They’re safer, bigger, and better than anything in the driveway. Let’s celebrate together, safely.

🔥 Summer is heating up and so are the community events! Our Millcreek crews had a great time getting out and connecting with residents last weekend; and yes, keeping a few folks cool in the process.
But here’s the thing, we won’t always be around to hose you off, so please take the necessary steps to protect yourself from the heat as we head into the hottest stretch of the season. 🌞
Here are a few quick tips to stay safe and beat the heat:
💧 Drink plenty of water, even if you’re not thirsty
🧢 Wear light, loose-fitting clothing and a hat
⏰ Take breaks in the shade or indoors
🚫 Avoid strenuous activity during peak afternoon heat
Let’s enjoy summer safely together. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and keep looking out for each other. We’ll see you at the next event!

A yard fire in Magna quickly spread toward a home today, but thanks to fast 911 activation and the rapid response of our crews, we were able to get an initial knockdown before flames overtook the entire structure. Most of the home was saved. This is a powerful reminder: clear brush, dry debris, and other flammable materials from around your property. Stay ready. Stay safe.
