20 years ago, our lives were forever changed.
We have firefighters that responded to ground zero and firefighters that weren’t even born yet on that fateful day in 2001.
Today, we work together, in solemnity, to honor those that lost their lives due to the September 11th attacks

Want to give a shout out to these amazing young women. They represented XANDER, a 8y/o boy battling cancer, as they played in a tournament in Grantsville today.

@pcfiredistrict UPDATE from Summit County:
“Thanks to great aviation work and phenomenal collaboration amongst all agencies involved in the suppression and evacuation efforts here on the #ParleysCanyonFire, things have slowed a bit tonight. We will share more information in the morning (8/15) and/or as we receive it.
Some folks have been asking about donations for the brave first responders. Due to current COVID numbers we are unable to accept food donations for the firefighters. If able and willing, monetary donations to Red Cross or to one of our local nonprofit organizations would be appreciated.

**EVACUATION INFORMATION as of 8:20 pm**- from Summit County Sheriff - Utah
Tomorrow, businesses in the LOWER Pinebrook area (grocery, restaurants, etc.) will be allowed to open to provide services to residents. If fire behavior changes, we will make decisions accordingly. Thank you to everyone for your understanding and support. #parleyscanyonfire #summitcounty
**UPDATE FOR PET OWNERS AFFECTED BY THE PARLEY'S SUMMIT FIRE as of 8:15pm**
Animal Control has left their staged area at Weilenmann Elementary School. Should pet owners need assistance with their pets or to get into the Animal Control facility at 1745 S Hoytsville Road in Wanship, they should contact dispatch at: 435-615-3600 to reach an on-call animal control officer.
**A General Update as of 7:24pm** All residents who have been evacuated due to #ParleysCanyonFire should plan to be out of their homes for 24 to 48 hours as of the time of this posting. A Red Cross Shelter has been established at Park City High School. 1750 Kearns Blvd.”
Heavy smoke from the wildfires on the West Coast moving into the valley today!
Consider staying indoors, especially if you have respiratory problems.
The crew from Big Cottonwood Canyon Station 108 worked closely with @unifiedpolicedepartment to flush trapped drivers up and over Guardsmen Pass as multiple landslides closed the canyon road tonight. No injuries were reported, but the E108 crew helped change multiple tires on vehicles damaged by debris flows on the road.
~Reminder, fuel up before heading up the canyons. No fuel is available up the Cottonwood Canyons and unexpected delays can occur year-round.
07/29 @6PM- Unified Fire and @slcfire crews are currently fighting a 2 acre grass fire at 10462 W I-80WB. WB traffic will be closed to a single lane until further notice.
Cause: Motor vehicle accident. No injuries reported.
Fire is contained at this time. Crews are mopping up interior hotspots.
Thank you to @slcfire & @utahhighwaypatrol for your assistance.
UFA medics from Little Cottonwood Canyon station 113, Medic ambulance 110, and Battalion Chief 11 worked closely with @slcosar and @unifiedpolicedepartment to help a climber out of a hard to navigate Boulder field last night. The patient was stable but unable to walk after injuries incurred in a fall.
UFA medics, who made initial patient contact, worked on patient care and packaging, while the SAR team assembled for the labor intensive job of getting him out and to the ambulance.
This interagency cooperation has proven to hasten rescues, improve patient care, and strengthened the mutual respect between first responders.

At 1:01pm today, UFA, WVFD, and SLCDF responded to a crash at the intersection of SR201/7200w. 3 Patients were transported to the hospital, 1 in critical condition. This intersection will remain closed until further notice as @utahhighwaypatrol conducts their investigation. Please plan your travels accordingly.
Thank you to @wvcut Fire, @slcfire @saltlakehealth and @utahtransportation for your efforts in this operation.

3 Alarm Fire in Millcreek, Ut.
06/16/21
Yesterday around 5pm, our Millcreek crews were dispatched to a large structure fire near 1300 E. Miller Ave.

Overall, we utilized nearly 60+ firefighters and 20+ apparatus from 6 surrounding agencies.
1 patient was transported to a nearby hospital in alpha condition.

The fire is currently under control, however, fire operations and road closures will continue throughout the day and possibly tomorrow as well.
What burned: 1 large apartment complex under construction + equipment, 14 small businesses in nearby strip mall. Total damage and dollar amount tbd.
We’d like to extend a thank you to all agencies who assisted including:
