episode_narrativeWith very dry fuels, a very dry air mass, and an increasing southwesterly flow as a low pressure system remained near the Pacific Coast, conditions across Utah became perfect for explosive fire growth. The winds were severe at times across northwest Utah, and any fires that started spread very quickly. Several of these wildfires caused property damage or injuries, and one caused a fatality. Note that some of these fires continued into July.
event_narrativeThe Dump Fire began on June 21st on the west side of Utah Lake, and was caused by target shooters using explosive targets. This fire threatened the communities of Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain, leading to the evacuation of nearly 600 homes and 2,500 people beginning on June 22nd. Fire suppression was able to keep the fire from reaching the communities, and the evacuations were lifted by the end of June 23rd. The fire was 100% contained on June 25th, after it had burned a total of 5,507 acres. Two firefighters were injured; one received a first degree burn, and the other became dehydrated and required transport to a local hospital. The only reported property damage was power line infrastructure damaged in the fire. In addition to this damage, fire suppression costs totaled $2.1 million.
