You may be seeing a bit more smoke today as our crews continue to put out spot fires and demolish portions of the building that caught fire earlier this week in the heart of Sugar House. I know these past few days have been difficult for displaced residents and businesses.

Congrats to Capt. Moser & Engineer Garvey, recipients of the “Meritorious Company Award” for their rapid response on scene. Truck 8 responded to a medical that turned out to be a burn victim. Quickly adapting, and rescuing the victim prevented further injury. Chief Karl Lieb, SLC Fire Salt Lake City Fire Department
