Finding the Most Current Fire Information

When fires start or there is an incident happening on the Fishlake National Forest, the public information officers typically try to notify the public via the Fishlake Facebook and Fishlake Twitter accounts. Additionally, Utah Fire Info Twitter and Facebook may share information about new and ongoing fires on the Fishlake National Forest.  As the incident evolves, it may be listed on either Inciweb or UtahFireInfo.  

Utah Fire Info is a one-stop shop for fires all over Utah.  It has current fire information, fire restrictions and how to report a fire.  This page is a joint effort by county, state, and federal land management agencies to provide timely, updated fire information in one location. 

Inciweb is a great tool for researching large current incidents.  Inciweb is an interagency all-risk incident information management system. Incidents on InciWeb are typically wildland fires, but the site will also host incidents when responding to natural disaster cleanup, search and rescue/recovery efforts, hurricane/tornado recovery or assisting other countries with manmade or natural disasters.  This site serves as a single source of incident-related information and is managed by Incident Management Teams or local public information officers.
