HERRIMAN, Utah, June 6, 2026 (Gephardt Daily) — Four fire departments responded to a residential fire in Herriman on Friday, saving the home and rescuing a cat after flames engulfed a garage and a nearby RV.
“Crews arrived to heavy smoke and fire from the garage and an RV parked next to the garage,” the Unified Fire Authority said. “Firefighters worked quickly to contain the fire, preventing it from spreading further into the home.”
