#ParleysCreek fuel spill thread 🧵

Following this morning’s I-80 fuel spill that impacted Parley’s Creek, health officials advise people and pets to stay out of potentially affected waterways until water sampling results are available.

Fuel sheen was present on the water at Parley's Historic Nature Park ("Tanner dog park") and Sugar House Park, and fuel odors were noticeable at Hidden Hollow Park and near 900 East (but there has been no sheen observed at those latter two sites).

Parleys Creek fuel spill update #2. SLCFD crews have turned over this event to the Salt Lake County Health Department. They will continue the cleanup efforts and determine when the waterway is deemed free of any hazard.

SLCFD is on scene of a fuel spill into Parleys Creek. We have units at Tanner Park as well as Sugarhouse Park working to mitigate the incident. PIO is on scene. Media staging will be at Sugarhouse Park. Please keep your animals out of Parleys Creek for the foreseeable future.

🔥🚒 Brotherhood and Sisterhood in the Fire Service 🚒🔥

For generations, the fire service has stood as a beacon of unity and solidarity. Whether you’re from a bustling city department or a small-town volunteer squad, the bond we share transcends geography and uniform. This includes the families who support these everyday heroes. 🧑‍🚒❤️ 

Recently, Pete Davidson was in town and reached out to Salt Lake City Fire. Pete’s father, Scott Davidson, served with FDNY and tragically lost his life among the 343 firefighters on 9/11. 🕯️🕊️ 

Salt Lake City Fire was honored to meet with Pete and listen to the fond memories of his father in the fire service. His legacy lives on through Pete, who carries the strength and resilience of his father. 💪🚒 

The fire service is more than a job- it’s a family. Let’s honor and support the brave men and women who risk everything for our safety and the families who stand by them.
