The West Desert District BLM reports huge success with a prescribed fire performed July 15, 2009 in northeastern Utah, close to the town of Randolph.  Contributing factors to achieve objectives set forth in the Otter Crek Aspen Regeneration burn plan include interagency cooperation, favorable weather conditions, adequate fuel and soil moisture levels and specific fire application using a terra-torch. Otter Creek Prescribed Fire, photo 3

The success of the Otter Creek Aspen Regeneration prescribed fire can be attributed to the help of our parnters including the local knowledge and expertise of the Rich County Fire Warden, the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Fores crew and their terra-torch, Our BLM neighbors to the south and east; Fillmore and Vernal and of course, our very own Salt Lake Fuels Crew.

About Us

The SLFO is located in the northwest corner of Utah. Much of this area is part of the Great Basin region, a place of isolated mountain ranges separated by wide sweeping sagebrush flats. 

This area is also a land of illusions, floating islands and vanishing water mirages. Almost touching the Utah-Nevada borders are the Bonneville Salt Flats, a unique plain of almost- pure, white salt. This geological oddity is one of the only places in the United States where one can see the curvature of the earth over dry land. Just south of the Salt Flats lies the Pony Express Trail where horse riders risked their lives delivering the mail in 1860 and 1861.  [more]
