As we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today, we would like to thank the NAACP Salt Lake Branch for recognizing first responders at the 39th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Luncheon. Unified Fire firefighter Tom Elbrecht was one of the award recipients for his outstanding aide in helping rescue a trapped skier who was buried and severely injured by an avalanche in December 2022:
What started out to be a day of skiing while off duty, turned out to be a day of rescue for UFA firefighter Tom Elbrecht. While skiing in Neffs Canyon with his dog Wiley that morning, Tom heard a person yelling for help. He immediately sprung into action to locate the individual by making his way up a hill where he discovered an injured skier who was buried to their chest in snow caused by an avalanche. Concerned about possible damage to the patient’s spine and right leg, Elbrecht carefully unburied the patient from the heavy avalanche snow.
Elbrecht then called his wife who knew where he was. She was able to get information to the right people. Elbrecht helped keep the skier warm by huddling with Wiley in a snow shelter he built and giving him his own jacket, vest and an extra down jacket while waiting for rescuers to get to them.
However, due to the difficult terrain conditions, rescue operation by helicopter was unsuccessful after several failed attempts. After nearly 8 hours, ground teams were finally able to locate them and rescue the skier by snowmobile down the mountain where the patient was transported to a local hospital.
We thank Firefighter Tom Elbrecht for his outstanding effort and care as this situation could have turned out very differently.
“The time is always right to do what is right” - Dr. King

01/06/23 at 11:17 a.m. - Apartment fire in @taylorsvillecity at Bridgeside Landing. While responding to a medical call within the apartment complex, @murraycityfire Company 81 was alerted by neighboring residents of a fire within a unit nearby. ME81 quickly assessed the fire unit and called for additional resources, meanwhile attacking the fire. Unified Fire crews arrived shortly after to assist with fire attack and evacuation. Because of ME81's quick work, the fire was contained to a single unit. However, one patient was transported to a nearby hospital in good condition as a precaution for potential smoke inhalation injuries.

🎉 Happy New Year to all of you!
Like you, and we’re certain our water officials as well, we welcome the recent snowstorms and the potential they bring for our communities for this upcoming year. Unfortunately, heavy #snow also brings large snowbanks that impact our ability to access hydrants in an efficient manner. If we have to dig a hydrant out to access it that means we’re delayed in responding to your emergent needs. Nobody wants that. Do us all a favor and please create a 3 foot perimeter around the hydrant in front of your place. You could even go around your neighborhood clearing a few hydrants out and teach your kids about work and preparation. We thank you, and you may be thanking yourself too! Here’s to a great 2023!
🎥 LIVE FIRE TRAINING | FIRST ARRIVING COMPANY
