r/Utah

hey small business owners, has anyone done Shop Fest before in Eagle Mountain? If so, do you find it worth it? Just trying to determine if thats something I should keep on my radar to try and sell at or not.

This night at Tuscahn amphitheater there was a brush fire that broke out in three separate places near and around the amphitheater during the fire work show after the performance of Les Mis. There were employees rushing yelling “code red”, and the entire upper balcony. Firework ashes were falling on the stage and in the audience. I don’t have pictures.
Really describes the state of the country lol. Song that was playing was “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue”

It's how many, where, and how bad will they be.

We need serious changes made NOW!

Hello, this is mostly me asking advice of anyone who’s worked in EMS in Utah but any and all advice from anyone is greatly appreciated:)

Im going to get my Basic EMT this Fall (just out of high school), and have plans to get paramedic the year after. I’ve been looking ahead at potential jobs for EMT for the break between getting me paramedic. I have quickly discovered that I should avoid Golden Cross at all costs(unless someone has something good to say about it everything I’ve seen hasn’t been positive)

I have learned that working as a paramedic for a fire department is possible and honestly that sounds amazing, I would also definitely be down for fire academy after my paramedic (if that was needed in order to work as EMS at a FD)

All in all, I know I really want to be in emergency medicine, either in ambulance or a little different, I’ve also heard of ER Tech as an option if anyone has any experience in that field that would be so cool to hear about :)

If anyone has any advice or experience with training/working for EMS/fire in Utah, even just outside of my questions I’d love to hear about it, thank you!

(Happy Fourth of July!)

Hello! I’m curious if anyone can help me figure out where this memory may have occurred. It was the summer of 2003. I was driving from Kansas City to San Francisco. From Wyoming to California I was on i80. Before I reached Salt Lake City, I remember driving through what I believe were steep canyons. At this point it was the middle of the night, so it was completely dark, with the exception of my headlights. I remember the road was windy, narrow and very steep. There were no guardrails or anything. I was petrified that I was going to go off the road. It was one of the most terrifying driving experiences I have ever had. I still think about it quite often. In recent years, I’ve tried using google street view, but everywhere I’ve put a pin down, the highway looks completely safe, relatively flat and easy to drive. Was the interstate different 23 years ago? Is it possible that I got off i80 like to loop around Salt Lake City? Honestly I’m starting to question my memory. Thanks for any insight.

Looking for places I can find stuff that encapsulates Utah. Stickers, magazines etc that I can mail to a friend who lives outta state. Any ideas? Thank you and happy fourth!
