Weather, fire behavior at night, smoke inversions, and duty limitations are all factors that are to be considered during night operations #ucfd#utahcountyfiredepartment#nightops
Despite cooler weather, fire danger throughout Utah is still EXTREME! I am no firefighter, but I do believe cooler dry fuels can still burn! We all need to exercise caution when engaging in outdoor recreation! @UCSO@UtahCountyFD@UtahWildfire@UC_FireMarshal@UWCNF
Today we take our hat off to one of our great resources, the Utah County Dozer Operators. These individuals have helped save many homes, enabled burnout operations, and respond in an instant. The dozer is currently on the Williams Fire punching in line @UCSO@UtahCountyGov
Wildland Firefighting is full of action adventure and well...Wildlife. From great horned owls, elk and moose The Handcrew has come across a few bears on the fire line in Montana, both parties quietly keep their safe distance. With long camera lenses they were able to take this.
One of our @UCSO Sergeants took these photos at the #GoshenFire yesterday. Since @Twitter doesn’t allow more than four pics at a time I’ll do them in stages. 1/3
With the cooperation of many department and the local IMT team, the Goshen Fire is looking good. Resources will continue to work the line the next few days under direction of the same incident Team running the Williams Fire.
