When our fellow Americans are in trouble, Utah steps up to the plate. We are proud of the brave men and women of Utah Task Force 1, which is in North Carolina and Tennessee helping with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

Before you light those fireworks, see if you live in a fireworks-restricted area. Simply type in your address; all red-shaded areas mean fireworks are prohibited.

Teamwork between the @WJFD_UT, West Jordan Animal Shelter, and @FireAuthority helped save a horse stuck in the mud over the weekend.
Abby fell into a water drainage ditch and couldn't get out. Today Abby is unstuck and happy. Give our rescuers a round of applause!

Fire Evacuation Update 🔥- As of Sunday morning, evacuations orders remain in place - these orders could last through Tuesday morning. However, the #parleyscanyonfire behavior and fire fighting efforts will be evaluated throughout the day.
Unified Fire retweeted
Winds will pick up and it will be another difficult fire day. Evacuations will stay in place so that crews can work to protect property and build lines to stop the advance. 8,000 evacuated and only one person needed shelter overnight—thank you for taking care of each other.
Unified Fire retweeted
Thanks to yesterday’s air attack and fire crews from all over the state, #ParleysCanyonFire advanced little over night. Because of fewer human caused fires in Utah, hot shot crews have been able to work in other states. Now several are headed back to help on this fire.
