SALT LAKE CITY â Utah firefighters have responded to more than 100 fewer wildfire starts this year compared to 2020.
As of July 25, there had been 732 Utah wildfire starts in 2021 compared to 867 in 2020, according to the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands (FFSL).
It is surprising considering the extreme fire danger and historic drought Utah has been experiencing this year. It proves something, however, Kait Webb, FFSL spokesperson, said, people are listening.
âWe were expecting a very, very busy season. The potential was there,â she said.
