Utah Guide Dogs for the Blind brought their puppies to Station 117 for annual training. This group takes puppies and does the initial training and socialization before they go to dog college to become seeing-eye dogs. The dogs are taken to sporting events, city streets, shops, restaurants, and any place a blind person might go. This is the second year the dogs and their trainers have come to Station 117 to acclimatize the dogs to fire engines and firefighters. There’s nothing better than dogs and firefighters.

Our crews responded to a crash up Little Cottonwood Canyon today on a car that crashed into a parked car. This is the reason we had to close the canyon while crews got the scene under control. After our teams render care and get scene control we work quickly to help other agencies get roads opened back up.
