Thank you for your participation in the October 24, 2009, Holladay North Area Emergency Preparedness Fair. You were the heroes of our fair as the enclosed pictures demonstrate.
Construction continues to progress at each of the three stations currently under construction. Since the groundbreaking in April of this year, construction has continued on schedule and within budget. The contractor, Zwick Construction, has set a 280 day timeline for the construction of each of the stations. They have worked diligently to meet this commitment and are on schedule for completion of station 106 in early December.
The primary purpose of the Tactical Paramedic Team is to enhance The Unified Fire Authority and Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office mission of saving lives through the use of tactically trained paramedics who are capable of providing immediate advanced life support for bystanders, hostages, deputies, and suspects. Attaching paramedics to the Sheriffs’ Office SWAT team eliminates the need for patients/victims to wait while a hostile situation is stabilized; instead, life saving efforts can commence immediately providing a timely and critical service to the community and its citizens.
As the flu/H1N1 season continues to progress, the decision has been made to discontinue staion tours/community education visits at the fire stations effective November 1, 2009. We will continue to fulfill our community's requests for education/safety demonstrations at their coordinated locations. This action is an effort to minimize the spread of the virus to UFA crews by restricting access to the stations of the general public.
