#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).
Officials expect the forecast rain to clear out of recreational areas any remaining fuel not absorbed by booms.
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.
Parleys Creek fuel spill update #1. PIO will be at Sugarhouse Park with a 10 minute ETA.
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.

🔥💦 Spring Hydrant Flush! 💦🔥
Get ready, folks! It’s that time of year again when our amazing fire department is gearing up for the season by flushing and testing fire hydrants all around the neighborhood! 🚒💨
Why is it important, you ask? Well, flushing hydrants ensures they’re in tip-top shape, ready to deliver H2O at full force in case of an emergency. Plus, it helps clean sediment and mineral build-up from the distribution system. 💧✨
Maybe you’re wondering, what happens to all the water used to flush the hydrants? The water makes its way back to Salt Lake City’s storm drain system. This vast storm drain system delivers water back to our local water bodies and eventually ends up in the Great Salt Lake! 💧🌟
So, if you see those fire trucks rolling through the neighborhood, don’t fret! It’s just your local heroes doing their thing to keep us protected. Give ‘em a wave and a big thank you when you spot them! 👍👨🚒
