New interchanges will be built over U.S. 89 at 200 N./400 N., Oak Hills Dr., Gordon Avenue and Antelope Dr.; and bridges will be built over U.S. 89 at Nicholls Road and Crestwood Road. The project will also improve connections between U.S. 89 and Main Street, S.R.193 and Interstate 84. Some sections of new frontage road will be constructed to improve access to existing frontage roads and local streets, and the frontage road system will also function as a signed bicycle route. The project is still in the design phase, and a construction schedule has not yet been determined. to register a phone number that will receive notices based on the emergency.

SPARK CHANGE cont. from page 1 • Don’t burn yard waste or debris without checking with your local fire department. • When lighting fireworks, have a fire extinguisher handy, have a bucket of water or garden hose available to wet down the surrounding vegetation. • Don’t park a hot car or other machine in dry grass. • Tractors, off-road vehicles and equipment, such as chainsaws, must have spark arrestors. • Secure tow chains to ensure they don’t drag, causing sparks and fire risk. • When target shooting, choose a backstop that is free of rocks and dry grass. • Remember the complete impact of wildfire when playing, working, or traveling in Utah. Education of the public on wildfire prevention is vital, since about 85 percent of these fires in the United States are caused by humans, according to a study published in February 2017 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences where researchers found that between 1992 and 2012, 84 percent were ignited by people. Human-caused fires result from campfires left unattended, the burning of debris, equipment use and malfunctions, the negligent discarding of cigarettes, sparks from railroads and power lines, and intentional acts of arson. And new research shows that people are also drastically altering the naturally-occurring impact of wildfires in America—extending the “normal” fire season in the U.S. by about three months, according to fire ecologist Jennifer Balch at the University of Colorado, and according to Thomas Swetnam, professor emeritus at the University of Arizona, humans are a major factor in the increased number and size of large wildfires. Accordingly, Balch advises that “Actions to raise awareness and increase management in regions prone to human-started wildfires should be a focus of U.S. policy to reduce fire risk and associated hazards.” Doyle Rice from USA Today states in an article on Smithsonian.com that “debris burning starts the most human-caused fires, at 29 percent, with arson the cause of 21 percent of fires. Equipment use causes 11 percent of fires, while campfires and children playing with fireworks or matches each cause 5 percent of fires. The Fourth of July, predictably, is the biggest day for wildfires, with 7,762 fires ignited on that date over a 21-year study period.” Melissa Forder, another fire ecologist, says that about 60 percent of fires in national parks are caused by humans: “intentionally set fires, buildings burning and spreading into the forest, smoking, equipment malfunctions, and campfires.” Lightning is the most natural common causes of wildfires.
