The restriction restric-tion orders have -been in effect since June and were implemented implemen-ted due to the extreme fire danger which has plagued Utah this year. Officials of the Forest Service, Ser-vice, Bureau of Land Management Manage-ment and National Park Service Ser-vice join the State Forester in expressing appreciation to the public for their cooperation in avoiding a more disastrous fire season. The fire season for all agencies was the worst in recent re-cent history, but without the fine cooperation by the public the suppression costs and damages dam-ages to our natural resources would have been tremendous. The Statewide restriction was unique and had never before been placed into effect. The rains received recently lowers the fire danger in most areas of the State. Hunters Hunters and other outdoor users us-ers are urged to be careful with open fires (because there are still some small local areas that did not receive as much moisture as others. Unattended warming fires are always a hazard and are illegal. All fire officials are expressing express-ing relief that the dry, hazardous hazard-ous situation has been alleviated allev-iated and are pleased that outdoor out-door users can now safely use open campfires. |
