Wildland Engines 302 and 301 are leaving this morning for Boise, Idaho. This will be the first wildland season in nearly 9 years where both sister engines will be consistently fighting fire for the summer. What a way to start by heading to the same location! #unifiedfire

With permission from the homeowner, here are shots from this weekends massive house fire in Holladay City.
Last nights wind event further stoked the remaining blaze, and required us to have Wildland fire fighters posted on adjacent properties to ensure no embers sparked off the nearby dry ground fuels.
Many thanks to ALL the surrounding fire agencies that contributed to this operation, Unified Police, and Holladay City for their support and aid in maximizing the water available for this event.

Night ops continue on the Tolcate Fire. We have firefighters assigned to the surrounding properties tonight, as gusty winds stoke what’s left of the fire and potentially send hot embers into the surrounding brush.
After first-in crews made three attempts to fight the fire from the interior, structural instability forced us out of the home, and we were left to conduct a prolonged defensive attack from the exterior. This has been the reason for such an unusually long operation.

Our operation at the Tolcate Woods fire continues, and likely will through a second night. This is an extremely large (25,000sq.ft.) private residence, with some unique challenges. The exterior is stout commercial structure construction (concrete and steel beams), but extensive fire damage has caused structural collapse between floors on the interior. This has left it unsafe for firefighters to work on the interior of the home.
Holladay water has been working hard to help us overcome the water supply obstacles, as we have 1/2 a mile of hose laid out to support this operation. This, along with accessibility challenges and a focus on safety, make for a prolonged incident.
With respect to the owners wishes, we’re not currently sharing photos of the structure. We’re doing everything we can to stop the loss of property, and respectfully extend our sympathies to the family.

***FEEL GOOD STORY***
🇺🇸 Station 110 B platoon was contacted by a Cottonwood Heights resident seeking assistance with a broken flag pole. This particular neighborhood in Cottonwood Heights has a wonderful 4th of July tradition of having a flag ceremony at the local LDS chapel followed by breakfast and a small parade. Much to their concern, they realized the churches flag pole was broken the day before the 4th. The resident called our crew at St.110 to ask if they could assist in any way, given the fact that the repair company was several weeks out and this tradition means a lot to them. The crew at station 110 was more than willing to help out. The repair was done safely (those power lines are a lot further away than they look, and the new guy was tethered into the ladder 😃). Special thanks to Station 110-B for going above and beyond! May we fly our colors high and proud! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July Everyone!!! @cottonwoodheights

Here’s a few from a single story residential fire this past weekend. The incident had several components that made for a complex operation. The address was down a recessed wooded alley behind another residential lot, and the fire already had wildland, structure, and vehicle fire components upon our arrival. Fortunately, all residents made it out safely and no injuries were incurred during the operation. Please be extremely cautious with any open flames, and stay safe through the summer holiday season.
