The current dry conditions coupled with the ever-changing winds have some fire officials worried.
A fire in Lake Shore burned 300 tons of hay and multiple vehicles on Saturday. Crews from Spanish Fork, Salem, Woodland Hills and Mapleton fire departments responded to put out the blaze.
"The last week, we've had five fires, we've had two now, three that were ditch bank fires," said Chief Eddie Hales, Spanish Fork Fire & EMS. Chief Brendel is urging people to be cautious if they choose to do an agricultural burn, or even a controlled burn when the window to get a burn permit opens up at the end of the month.North View Fire District Marshal Ryan Barker said it started as an agricultural burn before getting out of control. Nearly two acres, an abandoned truck, and a camper were burned.
"I'd say probably half of our controlled burns have some issue where they have to call the fire department and get us to respond out there to either help them trying to contain it or to just kind of give them a hand," he said.READ: Group cited for burning pallets in prohibited area in Provo Canyon
