Arriving to help with the massive fire in Millcreek yesterday. It’s not known what started it, but we can tell you that hot temperatures and dry weather make for dangerous fire conditions. Be careful out there!
NOW: @FireAuthority Chief Dan Petersen is updating @MillcreekUT Mayor Jeff Silvestrini on the fire. They estimate it could take days to a week to dismantle the burned cranes. Estimate of $15-20 million in damage. @KUTV2News
Have pics or videos of yesterday’s 3-alarm fire? We’ll take them!
Investigators are unable to safely enter the structure until the 2 damaged cranes come down; but want to start reviewing the fire behavior to help their investigation.
Send them to pio@unifiedfire.org
On scene of the fire for @fox13 Just heard from @FireAuthority that they are now asking for the public’s help in sending them cell phone video to help with their investigation. Please RETWEET to get the word out and send video to pio@unifiedfire.org
@FireAuthority UPDATE: 1300 E between 3300 S and Elgin Ave is open for local traffic only. Miller Ave is closed between 1300 E and Highland Dr. Closures will remain in place through tomorrow or until further notice.

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.
3 alarms were immediately struck due to the size and complexity of the fire.
Overall, we utilized nearly 60+ firefighters and 20+ apparatus from 6 surrounding agencies.
1 patient was transported to a nearby hospital in alpha condition.
Cause: unknown. Investigators are standing by to determine cause once the scene is stable.
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:
South Salt Lake Fire
Salt Lake City Fire

West Jordan Fire
West Valley Fire

We go on a lot of unique and interesting calls, the chance to help people in a variety of situations is one of the privilege’s of the job.
This one was a first for the Station 112 B platoon crew this week, when a big rig full of bees broke down in Parleys Canyon. These precious pollinators were starting to overheat in the sun, and the engine crew helped keep them cool until they could get back on the road.

This year, above-normal wildfire potential is predicted due to expected high temperatures, dry vegetation, and other weather factors including high winds. Because of these conditions, human-caused wildfire ignitions have the potential to quickly grow out of control and threaten lives, property, and precious natural resources. People accidentally start wildfires during numerous activities, so the public is asked to help reduce ignitions from causes such as campfires, debris burning, equipment use, target shooting, or even from an automobile’s hot tailpipe scorching dry grass.
Many states issue wildfire prevention orders every year to reduce human-caused wildfires, and some areas implement fire restrictions during periods of high wildfire risk.
Visit www.blm.gov to find more information about possible fire prevention orders and fire restrictions in your area. Always know the fire conditions in the area you plan to visit. A simple campfire - if not extinguished properly - can cause catastrophe. As Ol' Smokey the Bear always says, "Only YOU Can Prevent Wildfires."

Today, the crew in Kearns responded to a resident that had a medical episode while mowing their lawn.
After stabilizing the patient, the ladder crew stayed to finish the job while the resident was transported to the hospital.

Heavy Rescue Companies HR121, HR117 and ML117 had the opportunity to do some technical rescue training yesterday at the @riotintokennecott power plant.
Unified Fire has 80 firefighters specially trained in the technical disciplines of Trench Rescue, Rope Rescue, Vehicle and Heavy Machinery Extrication, Confined Space Rescue, Structural Collapse, and Rapid Intervention Team functions. These separate fields of training qualify a firefighter for the Heavy Rescue credentials.
Everyday, a minimum of 13 of these highly skilled individuals are working together in three separate companies, ready to respond with our 95 other on-duty firefighters to any type of emergency that may occurs.

Many thanks to @unifiedpolicedepartment for keeping everyone safe as they directed traffic around the scene.
