SALT LAKE CITY (KTVX) — Utah fire captain identified as victim in Colorado rafting accident

A tragic incident occurred earlier this week when Captain Michael Harp, a 54-year-old Utah fire captain, lost his life in a rafting accident along the Green River at Dinosaur National Monument in Colorado. Captain Harp, a second-generation firefighter with 27 years of experience at the Salt Lake City Fire Department, was on a private permitted trip when the accident took place.

According to a press release from the Salt Lake City Fire Department, Captain Harp was reported missing on Thursday afternoon after his boat got pinned against a rock. Unfortunately, he was unresponsive and drifted downriver after losing his lifejacket.

After an extensive search effort, Captain Harp’s body was found about 10 miles downstream from the incident and airlifted to the Moffat County Coroner’s Office. The coroner’s office officially confirmed his identity last week.
