BOUNTIFUL, Utah — It's not often that Bountiful has to activate its Emergency Operations Center, according to Greg Meyer.'I've lived here in Bountiful, and I can account maybe four or five times that we've had to do this," he said. 'It is awesome. There's nothing better than the heart of the volunteers.' Heavy rainfall hit northern Utah Saturday afternoon, and the National Weather Service issued flood advisories in multiple counties. Volunteers in Bountiful spent more than an hour putting dozens of sandbags together for residents as soon as the flooding started.
