As the 2021 wildfire season unfolds, we will chronicle its progression for you here on this page.
The 2021 wildfire season is already raging across the West, and Utah is no exception. In 2020, Utah saw a record-breaking year for human-caused wildfire starts, with 77% of the 1,482 incidents across the state traceable to human actions such as leaving campfires unattended and illegally setting off fireworks near dry vegetation on windy days.
Consequences of all this elevated 2020 fire activity in Utah included more than 328,000 acres burned, six homes lost and more than 166,000 hours worked by firefighters with the state wildfire management program, often in 16-hour shifts on a grueling 14-days-on, 2-days-off schedule.
