Blood donations are at their lowest levels in 20 years across the country, but @RedCrossUtah hopes a "super" incentive will encourage people to roll up their sleeves. ksltv.com/?p=612958

It's not safe to leave your fire burning even if the light has gone out. Before you retire for the night, make sure to drown with water and stir the ashes. Check for any heat; if there is, add more water and repeat the process until the fire is completely extinguished. #FireSense

Every year, sparks fly in the state around this time of year. Some of those sparks aren’t meant to fly. We’re talking fireworks 💥 turned FIRE. Nationwide, nearly 20,000 fires are started yearly by fireworks. @slcfire @RedCrossUtah @KSL5TV @Derek_Photog – at West Valley City, UT

Big rain totals coming off of the latest Atmospheric River event, and flooding concerns linger into Thursday for the southern part of the state. Drying out for a few days, but another wet warm storm could be in store early next week.

A winter storm bringing heavy snow, strong winds and ice to the northern U.S. is causing travel conditions to worsen. Avoid travel if you can, but if you must go out and happen to get stuck in your car, follow these steps to stay warm. ⬇️

We're facing a national blood crisis. Doctors are having to make tough choices about who receives transfusions and who has to wait. You can help by making an appointment to give at rdcrss.org/3JXls3M or these 3 other ways.
