🔥House Fire🔥

At approximately 7:00am this morning, UFA crews, along with @murraycityfire, responded to a residential structure fire near the Murray/Holladay border in unincorporated Salt Lake County.

Upon arrival, firefighters found the home heavily involved in fire and immediately initiated an aggressive fire attack. Thanks to the quick response and coordinated efforts of the crews, the fire was quickly brought under control and contained to the original structure, preventing extension to surrounding homes.

The residence sustained extensive damage. No injuries to residents or firefighters. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

We thank Murray City Fire Department and the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance and coordination during this incident.

Herriman house fire last night.

Upon arrival, the first arriving crew was met with heavy smoke and flame from the front of the home, and a large smoke column could be seen across the valley.

Fortunately nobody was home at the time of the incident, and a rapid 911 call by neighbors allowed crews to get there quickly and make a rapid knockdown.

A dog was found in the home, assessed on scene, and was reunited with its owners!!

No cause is known at this time. We would like to extend a huge thank you to our mutual aid partners @westjordanfire and @sojofire for their hard work and efforts.

We would all like to express our congratulations to Captain Layne Hilton on his upcoming retirement.

Captain Hilton was hired with Salt Lake County Fire in March of 1995. He has held various roles within the department with most recently performing duties as the Behavioral Health and Wellness Officer.

Captain Hilton has been able to affect many lives, and his expertise and knowledge has been invaluable to not only our department, but to all who have utilized his services.

He leaves us with this message:

Thank you all for the memories and friendship and thanks to the UFA for all of the amazing opportunities. Take care of yourselves and each other!

Thank you for 31 years of dedicated service to the community and your Fire Family. You have made Unified Fire Authority a better place, and we wish you all the best of luck in your retirement
