Wildfire season is in full swing, and crews here in Utah have traveled both near and far to help keep these fires contained.
The Utah County Fire Department's handcrew returned Sunday morning from a recent deployment to Pecos, New Mexico, where they helped fight the Calf Canyon Fire.
"Sixty percent-plus containment when we arrived, and we initially were assigned to, you know, one of the last active parts of the fire," said Siebach.Siebach said his crew worked 16-hour shifts most days. They had to battle red flag warnings and elevated fire danger as they looked to secure the line where they were located.
"It gave a lot of the rookies, you know, a first glimpse of what they can anticipate moving forward, and it gave a lot of the returnees a chance to kind of refresh on some skills," said Siebach.
