Utah’s Worst Fire Season Yet | Salt Lake City News
Description
Utah’s wildfire crisis is exploding — the Black Canyon Fire, sparked by lightning, surged from 100 to 500 acres in a weekend, crossing into Emery County and forcing a Level 3 evacuation for Reeder Subdivision as winds, heat, and dryness fuel rapid spread. With zero containment and over 70 firefighters battling it, conditions are worsening. Meanwhile, the Widemouth 2 Fire in Millard County has scorched 36,000+ acres with nearly 400 firefighters on scene — also zero percent contained. Together, these blazes mark Utah’s most destructive fire year since 2018, with nearly 750 fires burning 425,000 acres — over 660 square miles.
