Show fire Restriction Lifted, Wasatch Front Uinta National Forest Supervisor Don Nebeker announced that the Wasatch Front Fire Restriction was officially of-ficially lifted October 19. The recent storm brought a sufficient amount of moisture to the Front and reduced the high fire danger which has threatened the Forest the past several months. Fire Staff Officer Gordon Colby explained explain-ed that, "Although this past summer was one of the driest on record, the number of fires has been below normal." Colby credits the public as being be-ing the key factor in helping the Uinta win their battle against fire. He went on to say, "The Forest Supervisor and his staff are very appreciative of our Forest users for their cooperation effort in taking the necessary pre-cautions against fire This has enabled us to stay on top of a potentially poten-tially dangerous situation." |
