PARK CITY, Utah. — The Bootleg Fire in south-central Oregon has grown to over 303,000 acres.

“We are running firefighting operations through the day and all through the night,” said Joe Hessel, Incident Commander. “This fire is a real challenge, and we are looking at a sustained battle for the foreseeable future.”

The State of Oregon requested assistance from Utah via the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC).

A crew from the Park City Fire District has been deployed to help with wildfires along with other Utah departments. Their assignment will be for the next 14 days.
