“It’s been a BUSY stretch for wildfires in Utah, especially in the southern part of the state,” BLM Utah wrote in a
social media post.
Reportedly, over the course of a normal fire season, the air tanker bases located in Salt Lake City and Cedar City pump 800,000 gallons of retardant across the Great Basin. So far this season, they have already pumped almost 1.2 million gallons, and we’re a little over halfway through fire season.
The Cedar City air tanker base has been especially important because a lot of the wildfire activity has been in southern Utah this season.
According to BLM Utah, the Ceder City tanker base achieved two records this week: delivering 130,000 of fire retardant in a single day, and the fastest they’ve ever used a million gallons in a season.
“Behind every one of those drops is a team working around the clock to mix, load, and send aircraft back into the fight,” BLM Utah wrote. “Huge shoutout to our staff and interagency partners at the base!”
