🔥 Midvale Structure Fire
Yesterday, Unified Fire Authority crews responded to a residential structure fire at a single-family home on a hot summer afternoon.
Two residents were home when they heard unusual noises coming from the backyard. When they looked outside to investigate, they found the back patio engulfed in flames. They quickly evacuated with their pets and called 911.
The fire spread from the exterior into the home and attic, causing extensive damage. Fortunately, all occupants and pets made it out safely, and there were no injuries to residents or firefighters.
Firefighters battled the blaze in temperatures reaching the upper 90s, working quickly to bring the fire under control and prevent further extension.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
As temperatures climb this summer, remember that fires can very quickly. If you discover a fire, evacuate immediately and call 911.
Thank you to Murray City Fire Sandy City Fire Department and Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake for the assistance.

🔥Holladay House Fire🔥

At approximately 1:30am this morning, firefighters were dispatched to a reported house fire in @cityofholladay . Upon arrival, crews found a fully involved attached garage at a single-family residence. All occupants were able to safely evacuate the home; however, the homeowner reported his dog was possibly still in the basement.

Firefighters immediately initiated an aggressive offensive attack while crews conducted an interior search. The dog was located by search crews unharmed, and safely reunited it with its owners.

Crews worked for just over 45 minutes to bring the fire under control. The fire extended into the first floor of the home, causing significant damage, and one vehicle was destroyed. Firefighters’ aggressive attack also protected adjacent exposures, preventing the fire from spreading to nearby homes.

There were no reported injuries to civilians. One firefighter was treated on scene for minor heat exhaustion and was released. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Thank you to our law enforcement partners @unifiedpolicedepartment for their assistance, and to our mutual aid partners from @sslfd and @slcfire. Thank you to the SLC Fire crews for locating and safely reuniting the homeowner’s dog with its family.

🔥A Busy 12 Hours for Firefighters🔥

From approximately 6pm Sunday through 3:30 am Monday morning, firefighters responded to three working fires in @millcreekut.

Beginning at 6pm, a fast-moving grass fire started near the Tanner Park Trailhead that ultimately burned approximately four acres. Thanks to an aggressive initial attack and assistance from multiple agencies, crews quickly contained the fire and prevented it from spreading to nearby homes.

Just hours later, at approximately 8:45pm, firefighters were dispatched to a residential structure fire. Crews arrived to find one unit of a two-story multi-dwelling residential structure fully involved in fire. All occupants were able to safely evacuate the home. Crews quickly deployed attack lines and initiated a rapid fire attack, protecting adjacent exposures and preventing the fire from spreading to nearby homes. Firefighters worked for several hours to bring the fire under control and fully extinguish it. Multiple agencies responded to provide additional personnel and support during the incident.

Then, at approximately 3:30am, crews responded to another reported house fire. Firefighters found smoke coming from the home, located the fire in the attic, and quickly initiated an offensive attack. The fire was extinguished after more than an hour. All occupants safely evacuated and were evaluated and treated on scene for possible smoke inhalation.
Each fire is still under investigation.

These incidents highlight the dedication and professionalism of our firefighters, who battled multiple fires through the evening and overnight in 100+ degree temperatures with little opportunity for rest. While this was just one night, it reflects the commitment firefighters make every day to be ready to respond whenever and wherever they are needed.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all responding firefighters, our mutual aid partners, and our law enforcement partners for their teamwork, dedication, and unwavering commitment to protecting the Millcreek community.

🔥MIDVALE STRUCTURE FIRE🔥

At approximately 1pm this afternoon, UFA crews, along with @sandy_fire_department, were initially dispatched to a reported structure fire in @midvalecity.

Upon arrival, firefighters found a fully involved camper next to a detached garage that was also fully involved. Crews quickly deployed attack lines, made a rapid stop on the fire and protected nearby exposures. Additional units were requested for firefighter relief and additional support.

Law enforcement officers quickly evacuated nearby residents while firefighters worked to bring the fire under control. No one was home at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Thank you to @unifiedpolicedepartment and our mutual aid partners from @sandy_fire_department, @westjordanfire, and @murraycityfire for their assistance on this incident.

🔥 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.
