A bureaucratic restructuring years in the making, and one that may still take years to finalize, has at its core a simple request.
“The expectation for an ambulance to come when you call, and to come in a reasonable amount of time, is exactly the same on both sides (of the county),” said Francis Mayor Byron Ames last fall in a meeting of Summit County councilors and East Side mayors.
It was one of the first public airings of a request that officials said has been in the works for years: for East Side communities to operate their own emergency services.

A semi truck hauling 10,000 gallons of propane rolled over on I-84 near the intersection with I-80 this afternoon, forcing the closure of both interstates and evacuations in the immediate area.
Numerous agencies responded to the scene around 1:30 p.m., including North Summit Fire District, Utah Highway Patrol and a hazardous materials team from Park City Fire District. Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Chris Bishop said the semi was traveling westbound from I-80 to I-84 when the rollover occurred. The truck was hauling two trailers, he said, and the propane tank on the second trailer “appeared to have breached completely.”
