Multiple people were concerned early Thursday afternoon when a series of loud booms began to ring out in the southern end of Salt Lake Valley.Camp Williams is
Multiple residents along the Wasatch Front were shaken by loud detonations, seemingly without warning, leading to widespread confusion and a scramble to find out what just happened.
While law enforcement authorities were correct on the military aspect, police appeared to have misspoke amid the barrage of reports to dispatchers. "The loud booms heard in the salt lake valley are from Tooele Army Depot, they are conducting detonations in the south range & will soon wrap up," the county alert system posted to social media. "No threat."
Though it's always good news to report "no threat," concerns were raised about the lack of communication preceding the detonations, which apparently included local authorities. KUTV has been searching for a public announcement from the depot announcing there would be live fire training on Thursday, but has not found anything immediately apparent on the site's social media pages or its website, which does not appear to be designed for the public at large.
