    Due to the hard work of firefighters on the Buckley Draw Fire, it's currently 42% contained. Still 452 acres.

    Light precipitation was received today on the fire area. The cooler temperatures and higher humidity decreased fire activity. However, an infrared flight occurred after the rain, and there remains some heat sources still on the eastern and northern portion of the fire. Crews will reengage once it is safe to do so, and work to utilize the moisture to cool these areas. Containment will continue to be slow to progress on this fire.

    Update from Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest on Facebook.

    Morning Update from Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest:

    The Buckley Draw Fire remains at 452 acres and 21% contained. Containment has remained at 21% for multiple days and will likely start to increase when firefighters can safely access the full perimeter when weather conditions allow.

    Current and predicted weather continues to be a major factor in fire response activities and will influence the fire operation strategy. Gusty winds from yesterday’s incoming storm increased fire activity, with smoke and flames visible from the Provo valley.

    Today, crews will continue to patrol the area along the ridgeline and utilize air resources if needed, and it is safe to do so. Crews will also continue to secure line in the Slate Canyon area, where there is safe access and limited risk to firefighters. Additionally, due to weather conditions and increased chance of lightening, firefighters that are spiked out on the mountain will move down closer to the valley.
