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. ❤️
Saturday night a devastating 3-car accident sent one vehicle off the roadway and into a building, rupturing a gas line and igniting a massive fire.
Two courageous bystanders risked their lives to rescue the driver and passenger from the burning vehicle just moments before it was engulfed in flames.
As fire crews began suppression efforts, a powerful explosion destroyed one business and caused significant damage to two others.
Over 60 firefighters from Unified Fire Authority, South Jordan, West Jordan, West Valley City, Sandy, and Draper worked together to battle the intense blaze.
Three individuals were transported to local hospitals. Thankfully, no firefighters or law enforcement officers were injured during the incident.
We are grateful for the bravery of the bystanders and the swift, unified response from all emergency personnel.

Happy Independence Day!
What a privilege it is to serve as the fire department for our incredible communities in this great nation. Today, we celebrate the freedoms that make America so special, and the unity, courage, and resilience that define us.
As you gather with loved ones, light up the grill, and enjoy the fireworks, please celebrate responsibly. Keep water nearby, follow local firework laws, and never leave anything burning unattended.
Let’s honor our country by keeping it safe; for ourselves, our neighbors, and future generations. 🇺🇸❤️🔥

🎆 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!
