Utah Guard back on the front lines to clean up storm debris in Salt Lake City

A backhoe prepares to drop a bucket load of branches and leaves into a Salt Lake City dump truck as members of the Utah National Guard’s 1457th Engineer Battalion out of American Fork work to clean windstorm debris from the streets of Salt Lake City on Monday. Guard members will support the city’s cleanup operations for the week. Last month, the Utah National Guard responded to Davis and Salt Lake counties to assist in emergency debris cleanup operations at 27 sites across six cities to remove 2.5 million pounds of debris left by the hurricane-force winds that hit the area Sept. 8.
