SALT LAKE CITY Dozens of Utah firefighters began this week helping out with large wildfires in Oregon and Montana.
Utah Wildland Task Force 1 and 2 remain stationed at the Bootleg Fire burning 15 miles northwest of Beatty, Oregon. In a video posted by the Unified Fire Authority Monday afternoon, firefighters said they were mopping up a section of the massive fire, which means they were working to cool down hot areas where the fire has burned. There s a lot of work to be done here, said Anders Pritchard, a Draper firefighter and task force member, in the video. It s a big fire so we re just trying to focus on our little piece of it.
