With temperatures near 100 degrees, we once again thank all of our Unified Fire and @pcfiredistrict crews for their quick knockdown and hard work to contain the fire to just under an acre!!

Eagle Mountain crews, with support from Saratoga Springs FD and other UFA units, had to fight this fire defensively as the home was fully involved prior to their arrival. Everyone is safe but unfortunately the home is a loss.
Earlier this afternoon, Medic Ladder 111, Medic Ambulance 111, and crews from West Valley City responded to a house fire in Magna. The homeowners came home to smoke showing through the front door and did the right thing leaving it closed and promptly calling 911. Crews quickly knocked down the source in the kitchen and got the two family cats out safely as well. Neighbor kids were anxious to see what was going on, reminder to always give plenty of space to our crews during an active incident. (These youngsters were super helpful once we were all done.)

🔥House Fire Rescue🔥
Yesterday 7.18.22, Unified Fire and @sandy_fire_department responded to a 2-alarm house fire in @cottonwoodheights where a woman was trapped inside the home unable to self-extricate but able to isolate herself in her room by shutting the door which prevented the fire from entering.
Prior to arriving, nearby neighbors including a citizen driving by rushed into action to assist in locating this individual allowing firefighters to quickly make rescue efforts once on the scene.
As a precaution, the patient was transported to a nearby hospital in good condition. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Thank you again to Sandy City Fire Department and to all of those who assisted in locating the patient prior to our arrival!!!
