HURRICANE, Utah, Oct. 26, 2024 (Gephardt Daily) — Hurricane Valley Fire & Rescue was dispatched Saturday afternoon on reports of a structure fire at Hurricane Health and Rehabilitation, a rehab and long-term care facility that houses several ambulatory and non-ambulatory patients.

“The first arriving fire unit arrived on scene in three minutes and immediately found smoke on the north end of the building and began a search for the source,” the agency said in a news release.

“An incident action plan was immediately established to locate the source of the smoke and provide for a possible evacuation if needed.

“Fire crews were able to find the source of the smoke, which was coming from a cooling unit on the roof.”

Crews were able to shut off the unit and ventilate the smoke out of the building.

“No injuries were reported and no evacuations were needed,” the statement says. “E41, E42, L43, L46, and BC44 all responded to this incident as well as the Hurricane City Police Department.”
