Milford Flats Fire 300k Acres 0% Containment
ABC4 Utah offers amazing video of the Milford Flats Fire that includes footage of the shell of an 18 wheeler devoured by flames on Interstate 15 near Cove Fort.
From the reporters;
"As of Sunday evening, fire crews had the fire zero percent contained, while high winds and dry grasses continued to fuel the blaze."
The video includes a discussion by fire officials of concerns about reburn, where the fire doubles back on itself feeding on unburned fuel.
Most recent update from Utah Fire Info.
