'We get that hot temperature, all the grass that you see will dry up,' said Barry Locke of the Weber Fire District.
TREMONTON — There wasn't a single flame anywhere in sight; however, wildland firefighters know it's not too far away.
With 17 years of experience doing this job, Locke knows about as well as anyone all the green everyone is seeing in Utah right now will turn yellow.That's why the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands is hosting wildland firefighting training exercises across the state.Even though some experienced firefighters were doing the training as a refresher course, for others it was an opportunity to get some dirt on their crisp bright yellow shirts.
Even though there wasn't a real wildfire, these crews were gaining as close to real-life experience as possible. Learning how to properly attack a small fire faster could keep it from spreading out of control, saving money, property and maybe even lives.
