📰 News we're reading
• Neighbor heard boom before Riverdale fire killed family members (kutv.com) — A neighbor living next to the Riverdale home that burned this week, killing at least four family members, says a sudden boom jolted him awake just seconds before flames engulfed the house. Riverdale’s fire chief cautions that the noise may be unrelated, noting possible sources like Hill Air Force Base or I-15, while federal and state investigators probe the fire’s cause without treating it as criminal. 
• Resources for firefighters coping with deadly Riverdale fire tragedy (fox13now.com) — Riverdale residents are reeling after a house fire killed a father and three children and left another child in critical condition, while neighbors rally around the surviving family. Local firefighters and police, many personally connected to the community, are leaning on mental health resources and peer support as they process the tragedy. A memorial account has been set up at America First Credit Union to help the mother and surviving children.
