"Theres a Storm Brewing"

We have a winter storm that's on the way.  It is anticipated to arrive in Northern Utah in the late afternoon hours of Friday.  This storm will be brief but intense with snow accumulations in the valleys in addition to the mountain areas. 


Everybody, Please be careful.

Welcome Aboard!

Salt Lake Valley Fire and EMS crews get valuable training for mass casualty incidents.

West Valley City...

 

 

Fire crews from around the Salt Lake Valley met together to test their readiness to respond to a mass casualty incident.  One of the scenarios was held at the Utah cultural celebration center in West Valley City. In this scenario crews had the task of initiating the incident command system, triaging/rapidly evaluating over 50 patients, treating them and getting them to area hospitals. " This was a great drill... showing us just where our crews are at in understanding how to handle a mass casualty situation" said Chief John Evans. From here crews will critique them selves and be able to address any areas that they need to improve in. This is also a great opportunity to see how the many different agencies will work together in the heat of battle.  

As always.....Be Smart... Be Safe... BE READY!
