SALT LAKE CITY — With conditions ripe for wildfires, Unified Fire Authority fuels crews are now working with Utah homeowners in clearing debris and any potential fire fuels that can help ignite or further spread a dangerous and costly blaze.

The debris removal helps create a bit of a fire break around homes, just one of the precautions everyone lives in urban-interfacing communities should be taking. Many fall into a false sense of security once the state has good water years like it's seen recently, but those seasons may actually make things worse as they create more vegetation that can light up in the right conditions.

At Camp Williams in Bluffdale, the U.S. Army is enlisting the help of sheep to help clear fire dangers at the base.
