Utah receives more federal wildfire prevention funding
Three Utah organizations will receive more than $5.5 million in combined funds for wildfire prevention and defense. The money will help them defend against catastrophic wildfires. Karl Hunt, the spokesperson for the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands, said most of the federal grant money will fund a prevention project in Moab. The project will add more fuel breaks to areas of Moab. According to the National Resources Conservation Service, a fuel break is an area where vegetation and debris have been removed. The goal is to prevent fire from spreading. “When a wildfire does impact that area, (fuel breaks will) slow it down and crews (will be) able to catch it and keep it as minimal as possible,” said Hunt. Investing in wildfire prevention and defense ahead of time can save money down the road, according to Hunt.

Semi trailer fire cleanup continues hours after shutting down I-15 in Utah County
VIDEO/PHOTOS: Overnight travelers heading northbound on I-15 in Utah County were forced to a complete stop near Santaquin early Thursday when a semi-truck's trailer caught fire and became fully engulfed, authorities said. The incident was first reported at 2:28 a.m. about two miles north of Santaquin, according to the Utah Department of Transportation, which originally estimated the scene would be cleared just before the morning commute. UDOT spokesman John Gleason told 2News that the truck was hauling wood when something caused it to combust, consuming the trailer. Northbound lanes were completely closed as fire crews responded to the scene.
