Utah just endured its most expensive wildfire season ever, according to the State Forester. The acreage burned, the number of homes lost, and firefighting costs all hit historic levels this wild fire season. The State Forester laid out the numbers today for the Utah Executive Appropriations Committee which met in Duchesne today in order to include a tour of areas impacted by the Dollar Ridge Fire, which burned earlier this summer. That was one of several costly fires in Utah this past summer that added up to the most expensive in our state’s history. “By almost any measurement, it’s historic. And it’s historically bad,“ said Brian Cottam, Utah State Forester.
