WEBER, Utah — Crews from the Weber Fire District left for Texas and Idaho Tuesday to help battle wildfires.
One crew left for the “Moose Fire” burning near Salmon, Idaho.
That 17,000-acre blaze lit up three weeks ago. It’s just 18 percent contained.
The Moose Fire began on July 17 and was human-caused.
Utah County and Layton City have also sent crews to help.
Another crew has been helping mop a fire near Beeville, Texas.
The Sarco Fire has been burning since August 7. It’s scorched 515 acres and it is 95 percent contained.
The Weber has been looking for hot spots and improving existing fire lines.
