As the Halfway Hill Fire continues to burn near Fillmore, community members are meeting with fire officials to outline their plans to fight the fire and to protect the community in the future.
FILLMORE, Utah — It’s been one week since the Halfway Hill Fire was started near Fillmore. As it continues to burn, community members are meeting with fire officials to outline their plans to continue to fight the fire and to protect the community in the future.Since then, helicopters and air tankers have taken to the skies, crews have worked hard on the mountainside, and four people were arrested for abandoning a campfire and starting the massive blaze.
This was one of three fires within a few miles of each other when it's for sparked, thankfully volunteer fire crews in the area worked quickly and are credited with an initial attack that prevented structures from being lost. But once the fire becomes fully contained, officials are worried about the aftermath — such as flooding and issues with the headwater leading into the community.
It’s a challenge that is already being discussed in the community, and one that forestry experts will take up in the coming weeks and months.
