Meanwhile, back at the rodeo grounds.... While the heavy apparatus were making quick work of a wild fire, our event Ambulance covered the rodeo in @eaglemountaincity
Folks, summer is here, PLEASE be careful out there.
Our crews were able to get around this one pretty quick tonight down in @eaglemountaincity , but if it had been windy it could have been different.
Our east side crews are finally clearing the scene of a structure fire in @cottonwoodheights . Thanks to @sandy_fire_department in helping us make quick work of this chimney fire.

Wednesday morning was a busy one on the east side this week. Back-to-back 2nd alarm fires had crews in Millcreek and Holladay working all night.
Both fires have been determined to be accidental in nature, and our thoughts are with everyone who lost their home or property.
We had strong support and assistance from our partner agencies and neighboring fire departments, for which we are grateful.

We have a new podcast! On our first episode of Fully Involved with Unified Fire, Dr. Eddie Stenehjem calls in to give his insight on the hot topic of COVID-19 antibody testing. Dr. Stenehjem is an infectious diseases physician and medical director of Intermountain Medical Center’s Antibiotic Stewardship Program. Give the episode a listen and let us know what you think! The podcast is available on all major platforms. Link in bio!
Immediately following Wednesday’s 5.7 earthquake in the Salt Lake Valley, there was a massive amount of 9-1-1 dispatches throughout the entire county for event related emergency responses. For several hours, first responders were called to assess gas leaks, potential structural instabilities and power lines down in addition to the normal calls that would be coming into the 9-1-1 system on any given day.
One of the most visually compelling was Heavy Rescue Company 117’s response to structural damage along the several block section of the historic Magna Main Street.
With great support from Unified Police, we evacuated and taped off the area surrounding 13+ structures whose exterior brickwork had shown signs of distress or outright failure due to the seismic event.
As a result of the earthquake yesterday, Unified Fire coordinated a potential large scale hazmat response with Kennecott’s highly prepared internal response teams. Fortunately, their preplanning and well designed infrastructure prevented a worst case scenario.
This response was a coordinated effort with Kennecott and Unified Fire with support and responses by Lehi FD, Park City FD, Salt Lake City FD, Unified PD, Utah Highway Patrol and the Utah 85th Civil Support Team. All of these resources have previously trained together and were well prepared to coordinate, though it was fortunate that this ended up being a staging drill.
Natural Gas protocol after an earthquake for single family dwellings and other buildings: .
What should I do if I smell natural gas?
• Evacuate the building or area immediately
• Do not use light switches, telephones or other electrically operated devices that may spark and ignite the gas
• Do not start a motor or vehicle
• Call Dominion Energy at 1-800-767-1689 or dial 911 from a safe distance
.
You should only shut off you gas at the meter if:
• There is structural damage to your home
• You smell natural gas
• You hear natural gas leaking
• There is a fire
• Dominion Energy requests that you do
.
***CAUTION: Do not shut off the gas if doing so jeopardizes your safety***
.
If you don’t smell natural gas and there is not any structural damage, you don’t need to turn off natural gas. You may need it for your home heating, cooking and utilities.
.
Please refer to the Dominion Energy website for more information. .

Here's week five of recruit camp for Class 53. This week the recruits focused heavily on firefighter survival including learning how to properly call and execute a MAYDAY if they become trapped or lost in a structure. If they become disoriented, they now know how to find their way out of the structure by identifying and following a hose line out to safety. Lastly, they were taught search and rescue and the techniques to perform this task quickly and effectively.
.
Stay tuned as Public Information Officer Ryan Love @ff.love will be embedded with this recruit camp for 16 weeks bringing you weekly video updates. Special thanks to @southmetropio for the inspiration!
