Today Kaysville Fire crews were alerted to a fully involved vehicle fire on Sunset Drive.  Upon arrival it was discovered it was a shingle truck on fire.

The workers in the truck left the boom up while driving down the road which hit one powerline on the west side of the road and then another on the east side of the road where the truck came to a stop.

Amazingly no one was electricuted and both workers escaped from the truck.

Kaysville Fire responded to the call with Engine 61, Engine 62, Brush 61, Fire 601, and Fire 602.  Crews got a quick knock down on the fire which could be seen miles away, using both water and foam to attack the fire.

Kaysville Fire crews were requested as mutual-aid to another Layton Structure Fire around 21:30 hours this evening.

The home was in east Layton just off of Antelope Drive, not too far from last week's fire.  Kaysville responded to the call with Engine 61.  A few minutes later Ambulance 61 was requested to respond code Bravo to assist with a smoke inhalation patient, after the homeowner entered the structure to try and save his dog, who was lost in the fire.

Layton Fire crews responded to the scene with Ambulance 51, Ambulance 522, Ambulance 53, Medic Engine 51, Rescue Engine 52, Truck 53, Batallion Chief 51, Fire 501, and other various command units.

The homeowner's were not home when the fire started.  The home appeared to be a total loss with damage to the basement, entry way, and attic resulting in $200,000 in damage.  It is still under investigation on how it started, but it appears to be mechanical.

Today Kaysville Fire crews were requested as mutual-aid to a house fire in Layton.  Ambulance 61 responded to the call but Engine 61 was cancelled before leaving the station.

Ambulance 61 staged as medical on-scene.  Layton Fire crews responded to the call with Ambulance 51, Ambulance 52, Ambulance 53, Medic Engine 51, Rescue Engine 52 and Truck 53 along with other command units.
