UTAH — The U.S. Forest Service and the Utah Forestry, Fire, and State Lands Division have been carrying out multiple prescribed burns across the state, with the most recent taking place on May 4, in the Dixie National Forest at Park Ridge, in which 110 acres of ground vegetation was burned into order to decrease the risk of high-intensity wildfires in the area.
