City Creek Canyon Fire

City Creek Canyon Fire

Salt Lake 2 is currently wrapping up operations on the 130 acre City Creek Canyon Fire.

ICT4(t) Riley Pilgrim states that "it was a tough battle for the first day, but we've been able to get hand line around the whole fire and we will probably be able to put it in patrol status soon."

Salt Lake 2 arrived at nightfall on the first night of the incident where we proceeded to construct handline in conjunction with 10 smoke jumpers up the left flank of the fire. We completed about half of it the first night, then finished the entire flank by 1230 the next morning. The fire has a large amount of dirty oak underburn and we've been busy putting out "political" smokes in the fire's interior.
