Show THE OGDEN VALLEY NEWS Page 4 Volume VI, Issue XI September 15, 2002 BLAZE cont. from page 1 Within the first hour of the fire, the U.S. Forest Service brought in a helicopter, dumping water, working the blaze at the top, while the Eden crew worked the flanks with truck hoses. The helicopter continued bringing water to the scene until about 7:00 p.m. A U.S. Forest Service 20 man “hot shot” team from Logan arrived around 7:00 p.m. to take over command of the fire, which was contained around 9:30 that evening. The Forest Service crew monitored the fire all night, and a helicop- ter was brought in again for about two hours on Tuesday morning. According to Weber Fire District Captain John Larrison, the fire is still under investigation. He reminds everyone that, even though we have received some much needed rain, fire restrictions are still being enforced. No fires are allowed, including grills that use charcoal briquettes, on public and private property. Motorists and hikers are also reminded to properly dispose of cigarette butts—a common source of wildfires.
