Speirs Fire (UTASF)

Wildfire Status:

The Speirs Fire, located approximately three miles south of Dutch John, Utah, is now fully contained at 100%. The fire was ignited by lightning on July 13, 2024, and has burned a total area of 715 acres, primarily in heavy timber and grass understory within steep and rugged terrain. Current conditions indicate that the fire is under monitoring and patrol status, with no significant events reported since containment.

Fire agencies have successfully managed the situation, and all routes previously closed due to the fire, including the Greens Draw Road, have reopened to the public. The incident commander, Tom Wilson, and his team have concluded their firefighting operations, allowing construction crews to leave the area. Planned actions include continuing work on contingency lines to ensure long-term containment.

As for weather conditions, the area is expected to experience minimal challenges to containment lines, although low daytime fire behavior may persist internally.

The focus will remain on monitoring for any flare-ups while ensuring public safety and access to the affected areas.
