Shoutout to Grand Hyatt Deer Valley for allowing us the chance to get dialed on these important skills! @grandhyattdeervalley

December 29th at approximately 8pm. South Summit Fire was notified of a structure fire in the town of Oakley. It was quickly determined this is a “working incident” which triggered automatic aid from Wasatch Fire. The fire was quickly knocked down interior however it spread to the roof and attic space. This was particularly challenging due to the high vaulted ceiling, as well as the roof itself being a corrugated metal. It had snowed recently which made the roof a slip hazard, as it was also steep. Additional units from Park City Fire and North Summit Fire were requested to help gain access into the roof. Ultimately the fire was under control and the cause is still being investigated.
