April 22, 2025 - 101st anniversary of the Saltair Beach Resort fire. 

The year is 1925. It's been an unusually wet April in the State of Utah and Utahn’s were ready for warm dry weather. The Saltair Beach Resort had begun to awaken from its winter sleep after having its best season ever in 1924, where-in it hosted half a million visitors during its three month summer operating season. That was more people than lived in the entire State of Utah, which then had a population of around 400,000 The first event of 1925 had been a charity dance, put on by the local Elks lodge, to raise money for the Children's Milk Fund. The resort had expanded its offering from swimming and dancing to bowling, skee-ball, theater shows and roller coasters. It seemed like the party would never end. As final preparations for its 32nd season in April of 1925 were taking place; the party would come to an end, an end by devastating fire that would destroy the very heart of the Saltair Beach Resort. 

101 years ago today, on April 22, 1925 the Saltair Beach Pavilion (known as Saltair 1) was lost in a tragic fire! 

The day started out uneventful with the rain that had been coming down for days finally stopping. There were 20 employees working on different parts of the resort preparing for the season opener on May 30. Around 2:30 PM, an employee working on the front of an attraction known as the Ali Baba Cave smelled smoke and started investigating where it was coming from. The Ali Baba Cave was a Middle Eastern cave themed walk through attraction. It was over 700 feet long and traveled under the hippodrome. It had been the new attraction added for the 1924 season. 

He first stood on the 2nd floor of the pavilion but didn’t see any smoke. So he walked down the cave to investigate. He saw nothing and was about to give up when he was greeted by a wall of flames about 700 feet down the cave. Courageously, using his bare hands he put the wall of flames down to a smolder then ran to get help.

Today will be three posts. As Instagram doesn't allow for long posts.
