Utah Fire Info is urging Utah residents, including those in the Uintah Basin, to increase their fire sense and make safety a top priority this wildfire season. There have been 57 new wildfires in Utah in the last week and over half were human-caused. Utah Fire Sense makes it clear: “Fire sense is common sense. The trick is just using it. You already know heat or sparks plus dry grass equals a whole lot of trouble, so the next time you’re camping or shooting or otherwise enjoying the great outdoors in this great state of ours, use your brain before things get too hot to handle.” Prevent wildfires by remembering that dry grass burns easily so park on pavement, gravel, or dirt. When camping, put fires completely to rest before walking away. Always clear your backdrop and place targets away from rocks when out shooting. Visit www.UtahFireSense.org for more tips. Remember, your actions matter! Don’t be the reason for the next wildfire.
