Working as firefighters entails so much more than just emergency response. Opportunities to be a part of our communities, engage with young people, and give of our time to those that need it are all just as central to our mission as fire suppression and medical response. (Cont)

Crews responded to a house fire in Kearns. Heavy smoke and flames were coming from the carport and rear of the home. First arriving crews initiated an aggressive fire attack and primary search. The house was unoccupied.
The fire was extinguished with no damage to surrounding homes and no injuries to firefighters.

For many of us, working as firefighters entails so much more than just emergency response. Opportunities to be a part of our communities, engage with young people, and give of our time to those that need it are all just as central to our mission as fire suppression and medical response.

Last night, our Bomb Squad Special Operations Division responded to a delicate situation involving a very old 155mm artillery shell discovered after many years. Our highly trained team ensured the safety of the public and successfully handed the live round over to the military for proper disposal.
If you ever encounter something similar, do not touch it; call 911 immediately and treat it as an emergency. Our technicians are equipped to stabilize and handle these incidents safely.

Air management, not a task you may think about often, something we think about every time we don our SCBA and clip in to our air tank.
Our recruits in Camp 58 were taught about work cycles, breathing methods for air conservation, troubleshooting disruption in air flow, and that dodgeball in full turnout gear is more difficult than you would think!
Our bottles are pressurized to last 30 minutes under normal breathing circumstances. Work cycles obviously increase our work load, increasing our breathing rate and burning through a bottle faster. The recruits consumed air down below the low air alarm while having a little fun and saw they could conserve the last bits of air pressure for up to 20 minutes using some breathing techniques and slowing their heart and breathing rate.

Last night our Midvale crew ran with @murraycityfire on reports of a Semi Truck on fire. When we arrived, we had a fully involved cab and engine compartment that was still attached to a fuel tanker. Quick lines and an aggressive offensive attack helped this situation not get any bigger.

To safely drive, and proficiently operate a fire engine, our recruits in Camp 58 recently went through their ADO (Apparatus Driver/Operator) certification as they prepare to learn fireground operations.
Apparatus check offs/inspection
Apparatus operations/safety
Hydraulics/pressure calculations
Pump operations
These are the target areas the recruits learn so they can begin fire suppression evolutions.
Stay tuned for more updates from Camp 58!
