A Millcreek neighborhood has a sinkhole and no water after wildfire battle causes pipes to burst

Crews brought the fire under control, but then “things just kind of cascaded from there,” resident says.

(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) The atmosphere along Teton Drive in Millcreek was a communal as neighbors, all without water after two main water breaks in their neighborhood, determined their neighbor's needs. The two water main breaks happened prior to a wildfire in their neighborhood. Unified Fire Authority called on 40 firefighters and two single engine air tankers to combat a wildfire near 3600 E and 3000 S in Millcreek that threatened several homes, Aug. 5, 2021.
