Today, the members of the Lapoint-Tridell Fire Department join our community and nation in remembering September 11, 2001.

​We honor the 343 FDNY firefighters, 71 law enforcement officers, 55 military service members, and thousands of innocent civilians who lost their lives on that tragic day. When chaos unfolded, brave men and women ran toward danger without hesitation, laying down their lives for strangers.

​As a local department, we are reminded today of what it truly means to answer the call and serve one another. May we never take their courage for granted, and may we always honor the sacrifice of those who never came home.
​
Please join us today in keeping the fallen, their families, and all first responders in your thoughts and prayers.

🚨 A FALSE ALERT. A REAL REMINDER.

Over the weekend, many Utah residents received an unexpected evacuation alert related to the Rocky Canyon Fire near Henefer. The alert was distributed more broadly than intended, and officials quickly clarified which areas actually needed to evacuate.

While most people who received the alert did not need to leave, it raised an important question:

If a real “GO” order came for our area, would your family be ready?

You don't want to figure that out when the evacuation order is already in your phone.

🔥 BE READY BEFORE YOU NEED TO GO:

📱 Know where to get information
• Sign up for local emergency alerts
• Follow official local sources
• Have a backup way to receive information

🏠 Have a family plan
• Know multiple ways out of your neighborhood
• Pick meeting places
• Know who is responsible for kids, pets, medications, and important documents
• Practice your plan

🎒 Keep a GO BAG ready
• Water & food
• Medications & first aid
• Important documents
• Flashlight & batteries
• Phone charger/power bank
• Change of clothes & sturdy shoes
• Pet supplies
• Cash and a paper contact list

🚗 Keep your vehicle ready
Don't wait until an evacuation order to discover you're running on empty.

And if you are ordered to evacuate:

GO EARLY. TAKE THE ESSENTIALS. FOLLOW OFFICIAL ROUTES.

Don't rely on rumors or social media posts to decide whether you should leave. Verify information through official sources.

Yesterday's alert may have been a false alarm for many people.

The next one might not be.

Take a few minutes tonight to talk with your family about what you would do.

This is a terrible tragedy. We can’t imagine the difficulty of being the sole survivor of this tragic accident. Lydia’s father was a Provo Fire Captain, and originally from the basin. Please support her monetarily if possible, and please keep her and the rest of her family in your prayers!

Our Provo Fire family is grieving the loss of Spencer Long, his wife Katrina, and their… Bree Nielson needs your support for Support Lydia After Tragic Loss
