🔥 Two Working House Fires 🔥

UFA crews responded to two separate working house fires overnight in @herrimancity and @millcreekut, with the calls coming in just 11 minutes apart.

At approximately 12:25 a.m. this morning, crews responded to the reported Herriman house fire. ME 123 was first on scene and found a fully involved garage with fire extending through the roof. Firefighters deployed three attack lines while awaiting additional crews and launched an aggressive fire attack. Crews were able to stop the fire from spreading into the rest of the home, and the fire was contained in just over an hour.

The fire caused extensive damage to the garage, along with smoke and water damage to portions of the home’s interior. Several vehicles were also damaged. All occupants safely evacuated before firefighters arrived.

A short time later, crews responded to a second working house fire in Millcreek, where firefighters found a fully involved two-story home with heavy fire showing from the rear of the home and extending through both floors. Crews initiated an exterior attack and were able to knock down the fire.

The Millcreek home sustained extensive damage on both floors. No one was inside the residence at the time of the fire.

No injuries were reported in either fire. The causes of both fires remain under investigation.

Thank you to our mutual aid partners from @bluffdalefd, @westjordanfire, @sojofire, @sslfd and @murraycityfire, as well as our law enforcement partners @herrimanpolice @unifiedpolicedepartment, for their assistance on both incidents.

This past week, members of the Unified Fire Authority Pipe & Drums had the privilege of representing UFA at the memorial service in Grand Junction honoring the three Helitack firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice while battling the Snyder Fire in Colorado.

The sound of the pipes and drums has long been a tradition of honoring those who have dedicated their lives to serving others. It was a profound honor for our members to stand alongside firefighters from across the nation in paying tribute to these fallen heroes and supporting their families, friends, and fellow firefighters.

We extend our deepest condolences to everyone affected by this tragic loss. Their courage, commitment, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Please join us in remembering these firefighters and keeping their loved ones, their departments, and the entire wildland firefighting community in your thoughts.

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference.
Recently, our firefighters were contacted by a gentleman that started his neighbor, an elderly resident, hadn’t been able to fly her American flag for years. With a flagpole standing nearly 30ft tall, replacing the flag and halyard was simply something she couldn’t accomplish on her own.
Our @millcreekut crew was more than happy to lend a helping hand, raising Old Glory once again and bringing a smile to her face.
She was incredibly appreciative to see her flag flying proudly again - just in time for the 4th of July!

@herrimancity kicked off their Herriman Towne Days this morning with the annual Yeti Run, Ruck and Fun Run. Great job by all who participated!

🔥House Fire🔥

At approximately 11:30 p.m. last evening, UFA crews responded to a reported house fire in @taylorsvillecity .

Upon arrival, firefighters found smoke coming from the home. Crews quickly located the origin of the fire in the basement and initiated an offensive fire attack, successfully containing the fire to the basement and preventing it from spreading to the rest of the residence.

There were no reported injuries to any occupants or firefighters. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Thank you to our crews and @tvpdutah for their quick response and coordinated efforts.

🚨 Safety Reminder: Make sure your smoke alarms are installed, working properly, and tested regularly. Working smoke alarms save lives.

Last night, Eagle Mountain hosted a Guns vs. Hoses pickleball tournament with four Unified Fire Authority teams taking on the Utah County Sheriff’s Office.

After a hard-fought battle, Fire came out on top this year.

Huge thanks to Eagle Mountain City, the Utah County Sheriff’s Office, and everyone who participated in a great night of competition and community fun.

Better luck next year, Sheriffs.
