The State of Utah Department of Natural Resources has lifted fire restrictions in certain areas. A ‘Fire Restriction Partial Rescindment of Order’ was signed by the Utah State Forester and the Fire Management Officer stating that moderated fire danger and improved weather conditions have resulted in reduced wildfire hazard. As a result, all fire restrictions set in place in unincorporated private and state lands within Uintah County are now rescinded. The usual fall burn window was not allowed this year but with the fire restrictions lifted, the burn window has been extended until the end of November. Burn permits are still required as stipulated in Utah State Code. The Order does not apply to private lands within incorporated towns or city limits.
