Faulty HVAC unit forces
lodge evacuation
A malfunctioning heating, ventila-
tion and air conditioning unit on the
roof of Spirit Mountain Lodge forced
the evacuation of guests on Sunday,
Sept. 11.
The report of smoke in an eleva-
tor shaft between 6:30 and 7 a.m.
prompted West Valley Fire District
to dispatch two engines and a water
tender to the lodge. Sheridan and
Amity fire districts also responded
with three rigs total.
As a safety precaution, 378 lodge
guests were evacuated and smoke
was detected on the fourth and fifth floors. Eventually, the source of smoke
was tracked to a malfunctioning HVAC unit on the roof. The smoke was
cleared and fire crews released.
There were no injuries.
Casino Facilities Director Ron Reibach said the culprit was a single motor
that cost about $300. It had already been replaced as of Monday, Sept. 12.
Casino Marketing Director Shawna Ridgebear said casino staff contacted
guests to ensure they were taken care of during the evacuation.

What is an internship?
An internship (full-time/part-time) is a real-world experience
related to your career goals and interests. Internships can be what
helps you stand out in your job interviews after college. Most em-
ployers look for a combination of formal education and experience.
It may, but does not have to be related/connected to your aca-
demic major or minor.
Not only are you gaining valuable hands-on experience, you are
also networking and making connections to professionals in your
future career field. CTGR Higher Education encourages students
to explore internship opportunities to supplement their college
education.
