On Tuesday, October 7, 2008, at 7:00 p.m. the City Council will honor Kaysville firefighters who assisted with the tanker fire in 2005 on Highway 89 in Fruit Heights City. What began as a collision between a tanker carrying 13,000 gallons of butane and a van ended in the highway being closed and evacuation of hundreds of homes in the vicinity. The tanker, which was carrying two tanks of butane, flipped onto its side. The main tank cracked during the roll, leaking butane onto the ground and into the air. This was a very dangerous situation for emergency personnel from various agencies who responded as well as for neighbors in the vicinity. We appreciate the firefighters and emergency personnel who handled the situation so professionally. Citizens are welcome to attend this Council meeting and express thanks to the fire crew that assisted that evening.
