Gov. Cox says he’ll work with legislative leaders to determine the best course of action

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Governor Spencer Cox and interagency fire leadership ask everyone in Utah this summer to change their behaviors when outside, as they launch “Fire Sense”, a public service campaign designed to educate the public and empower them to make fire sense decisions that will drive down the number of human-caused wildfires. Gathered in City Creek Canyon on Wednesday, May 26, 2021, leadership launched a messaging campaign pinpointing how 100% of the state is in drought, with 90% of the state in extreme drought.
