Both of eastern Utah's interagency wildland fire dispatch centers – including one near Ken's Lake – will close at a still-undetermined date, under plans to consolidate those operations at a new facility in Richfield. Representatives from numerous state and federal agencies made the decision last week to eventually shutter the communications facilities near Moab and Vernal in an effort to improve financial and operating efficiencies. “This is not a decision that was made lightly,” U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Public Affairs Specialist Lisa Bryant said.
