I lived in Utah for 2 years (Tooele and West Valley City) and had the privilege to visit Spanish Fork during Holi Festival in 2013. I already knew Utah was full of amazing, caring folks. Seeing a crew of Utah county fire fighters who have driven 2000 miles to come help my people here in East Tennessee.......my heart is full. Thank you. It really means the world to us.
