Weather conditions challenge crews battling multiple Utah wildfires Bear Fire at 5,300 acres, 0% containment Posted at 12:09 PM, Jun 09, 2021 and last updated 2021-06-10 00:22:56-04 SALT LAKE CITY — High winds, drought conditions, and hot temperatures are not helping fire fighters contain the many wildfires still burning across the state. The Bear Fire started about four miles Northwest of Helper on Tuesday afternoon and has grown to 5,300 acres with no containment reported. Due to high winds, hot temperatures and rugged terrain, the conditions are ideal for rapid fire growth. U.S. 6 was closed Wednesday night at milepost 229 because of the fire. It is unknown when the road will reopen.
