Smoke from surrounding states, not Franklin County, fills Cache Valley

Although firefighters fought a blaze that tore through the dry grass alongside State Highway 34 in Thatcher last Friday, it didn’t burn enough to fill the skies with the smoke that blankets the county. The fire did cause second degree burns to the hands of a Caribou County Fire Fighter who was helping douse the blaze. The fire jumped a break into a sagebrush that blew up, searing her hands, said another firefighter from Caribou County. She was treated by the Franklin County Ambulance Crew, which reached the site — just east of the Thatcher Elementary School — before the Caribou County ambulance arrived.

Where This Week s Smoke Is Coming From

Utah is one of six states experiencing smoky skies this week as dozens of wildfires burn across the Western United states, including Oregon and California. According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City the main “culprits” of the smoke are the Bootleg Fire in Oregon and Beckwourth Complex fires in northern California. Other fires in Idaho may also be contributing to the smoke. Carbon, Davis, Salt Lake, Tooele, Utah, Weber and Box Elder counties air quality were classified unhealthy for sensitive groups by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality Monday morning and will remain classified that way through Wednesday.

Heat wave in western United States continues to break records

One day after extreme heat smashed records across Western states, Sunday was expected to bring another round of all-time high temperatures. A bit of relief – ever so slight for some – is around the corner Monday for the 5 million people withering under a heat wave that gripped the West this weekend, AccuWeather senior meteorologist Tyler Roys said.  This summer’s blistering temperatures are a side effect of the droughts the West experienced last fall, Roys told USA TODAY, and they aren t directly linked to climate change.  “It’s not unusual to have heat waves in this area, and there’s been a drought since October,” Roys said. “Most places are getting 50% of their normal rainfall.”
