***Burn Notice***
Unified Fire Authority and State Forestry reps are burning slash piles in Big Cottonwood Canyon STARTING TODAY AT NOON.
Burning will continue throughout the week, weather permitting.
Smoke will be visible in the surrounding areas. PLEASE DO NOT REPORT.
#Prepare for power outage: Turn on your porch light when power is back in service. After crews complete repairs, they patrol the area of the power failure to see if lights are on. Learn more about power outages from Be Ready #Utah: http://ow.ly/aM8YP30rXtmc.
Alert! Higher penalties to be enforced this winter for parking violations in the Cottonwood Canyons. The previous fine was $25, the fines now range from $75 to $150.
Many failed before. Will YOU complete the trial?🧙♂️
#Prepare for a power outage: It is a very common occurrence and is usually just an inconvenience. What if it lasts longer than a few hours? Are you prepared? Do you have supplies on hand to last a few days or longer? Learn about power outages from @fema: http://ow.ly/6mwN30so0VC
Firefighters began ignitions of slash piles in Lambs & Millcreek Canyons again today, completing 14 acres. Firefighters will be on scene tomorrow, and attempt to burn again Wed if conditions allow (before the next heavy precipitation occurs). Please do not report the smoke
