Utah fire officials are encouraged by the season’s latest trend recent wildfire activity has been light. In fact, there have been fewer fires in the past two weeks than during the same period in 2019 and 2020. There were 35 new starts last week, and all but three of them were contained within the first day. The Morgan Canyon Fire is currently the only large fire burning in the state at 509 acres and 60% containment. It started last month because of a fatal plane crash. People are still the leading cause for wildfires in Utah making up 77% of starts. Abandoned campfires have recently become the top culprit.
