Coalville At approximately 1:50 p.m., Saturday, March 14, crews from North Summit Fire and EMS were dispatched to Elk Canyon in the South fork of Chalk Creek, for a wildland fire. Upon arrival, crews found a fire, moving up the face of the mountainside. NSFD crews started to suppress the fire, and called for additional assistance from South Summit Fire and the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands. 15 fire fighters brought the fire under control; around 6:30 p.m., but not before it charred 14 acres. Fire crews believe there is not a threat of the - fire reigniting due to the lower temperatures, and higher humidity expected through the night. No structures were threatened. This is the second time in a week in the North Summit area that an agricultural fire has burned out of control. Although it is not quite spring, fuels are drier than normal and people are reminded it is their responsibility to keep agricultural burns under control. People in unincorporated areas of the County are also required, under Summit County Ordinance, to notify dispatch (435336-3600) before beginning any agricultural burn. South Summit's Latinos In Action Two men rescued during CO alarm call SCOTT NAGLE, FPO Firefighters from the South Summit Fire District were paged out for a CO Alarm call in the Maple Ridge subdivision on Wednesday, March 11, at approximately 1308 hours. Upon arriving, fire and ambulance crews found a semi-unconscious man lying in the driveway of the house. The ambulance crew began medical care of this man while a fire crew entered the structure searching for any other victims and taking readings of the CO levels in the house. Their first reading entering the house was just under 500 ppm (Above 32 ppm is considered a potential health hazard for humans. Above 200 ppm is considered lethal). The first fire crew did not find anyone else in the residence and exited the building after their low-air alarms started going off. The man in the driveway regained consciousness and told the second fire crew that the other man was on top of the elevator. Once that crew went in, they began looking for ways to access the top of the elevator and they could see what appeared to be the body of a person through a small opening between the wall and the elevator. By this time, their low-air alarms were starting to go off and they had to exit the building. The third fire crew was notified of what tools they needed and where the man was located. Assisted by a Park City Fire crew and using a chainsaw, the third crew cut a hole in the ceiling of the elevator large enough to slide the man through and then carry him outside to a waiting Air Med Helicopter. He was transported to a Salt Lake Hospital for treatment. The Carbon Monoxide Alarm may have saved his life. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, about 70% of U.S. homes do not have CO detectors in them. All local fire districts recommend that CO detectors be installed in the hallway near every separate sleeping area of every house. STUDENT REPORTER: ROGELIO CARBAJAL South Summi's Latinos In Action (LIA) students attended an annual conference held at Weber State University last week. The group's conference got off to a rough start due to a transportation mix-up. When it was realized a bus would not be com- ing to transport the group, Principal Steve Camp stepped in and volunteered to drive some of the students in one of the school vehicles while club advisor Ryan McArthur drove another load of students. When the students arrived at Weber State they received their name tags. They then enjoyed performances by other students and clubs. Many of the performances were cultural dances from many different hispanic countries. They then attended two workshops; one on proper dress and appearance for job interviews. In that same workshop they addressed verbal presentation, and how to best present themselves. The second workshop was on college preparation and information on the differences between high school COALVILLE CITY VACANCY — PLANNING COMMISSION One (1) Planning Commission Member — 2 year term Coalville City has one seat open for the Planning Commission.

The students also had the opportunity to speak with representatives of different colleges and inform themselves on their requirements and programs. The part of the conference that was enjoyed by the majority of the students was the keynote speaker, Richard Montanez, known as the Godfather of Hispanic Branding. Mr. Monanez is the gentleman who came up with Flaming Hot Cheetos. His rags to riches story was very inspirational to many students and teachers as well. He spoke of how he started off as a janitor and of how proud he was of being the janitor at Frito-Lay. His father told him that he needed to make those floors shine so bright that everyone would know a Montanez had mopped those floors. He also spoke of receiving his PhD degree (poor, hungry and determined). The conference was very inspirational and helped students see that they can make a difference as long as they pursue their dreams and goals. STICK YOUR NECK OUT FOR KIDSSTOP DRUGS SE VIOLENCE |
