Our hearts go out to Price City Fire Chief Fitz Petersen’s family and friends. He spent the majority of his career serving the communities of Salt Lake County with Unified Fire Authority.

Thank you for your unwavering example and boundless love.

Christmas Trees are a hazard that need proper care. Ensure you cut the base before setting to expose fresh wood. Check and water daily, these trees dry out extremely fast. Keep away from heat sources including fireplaces, heater vents, radiators and portable heaters. LED lights are safer than incandescent bulbs. Do not leave the tree lit while unattended. #christmas #treefire #christmasfire #safety #firefighter #firedepartment #firedepartment🔥🚒 #housefire #holiday #holidays #december #besafe

Don’t forget to thaw your turkey and dry it thoroughly before frying them this week. Some thing to consider for your safety include frying on a level surface in a location that is away from your house. Wear protective gloves, goggles and an apron. It is best to keep kids and pets away while using these large fryers. Have an extinguisher nearby and don’t overcook the turkey 👨🏻🚒🧑🏽🚒👩🏿🚒 Thanks to Company 111 and Station 126 for the footage. #turkey #thanksgiving #cookingram #cookingsafety #fire #firedepartment #cookingfire #deepfried #turkeyday
