Yesterday, UFA crews responded to an apartment building in Millcreek after a resident called stating their Carbon Monoxide(CO) alarms were going off.
After investigating, crews found CO readings throughout the structure. The building was evacuated safely while crews worked to identify the cause of the positive readings. Preliminary information into a cause is pointing to a few vehicles that were left running for an extended period of time in the parking garage, and an open stairwell door allowed the CO to get inside the building.
A great reminder to make sure you have a Carbon Monoxide detector in the home and always call 911 when you have an alarm sounding. Carbon Monoxide is odorless and colorless and requires specialized equipment to detect.
Thank you to South Jordan Fire, Murray Fire, West Jordan Fire and South Salt Lake Fire for the assistance!
🔥 Another Fire Prevention Week Tip!
When charging your devices, always place them on a flat, hard surface. Batteries produce heat while charging, and soft surfaces like beds, couches, or blankets can trap that heat and increase the risk of fire.
⚠️ If a battery becomes extremely hot while charging, unplug it immediately and move away from it.
A few simple charging habits can help keep you and your home safe!
Fire Prevention Week is Here!!
This year we are "Charging into Fire Safety"
Batteries are in almost everything these days! And those batteries need charging.
We here at Unified Fire want to make sure that we are charging those batteries safely and correctly.
Stay tuned throughout the week as we post about how to stay safe while charging.
Today`s tip: when it`s fully charged, unplug it! It`s easy to forget it was plugged in and leave fully charged batteries connected to the charger.
While many chargers have protections to limit/prevent overcharging, it`s best practice to just unplug it when it`s full.
Paramedics......We Want You!
We`ll teach you all the fire stuff, you bring the Paramedic skillset!
Applications are still open for our Paramedic-only hire.
