Of that, 69,000 acres and several structures have been lost because of human-caused fires. The culprit for most of the human-caused fires has been sparks - from ATVs, backhoes, welders, target shooting, and other sources. Simply put, any spark will start a fire that may burn thousands of acres. 'In a typical year 95 of Utah fires are started by lightning, not people." said Mike Deadly, chair Great Basin Coordination Committee. "This isn't a typical year.
