Historically, fires were predominantly low intensity surface fires that thinned fuel accumulations on a regular basis, with occasional, intense, stand-replacement fires in patchy areas or under extreme fire conditions. Over the last century, land management policies have emphasized fire suppression to protect human assets and interests. In forests where wildfire has been repeatedly suppressed, saplings, brush and shrubs, grass, needles, and leaves have built up to unprecedented levels, and forest stands have become denser. Such forests form huge reservoirs of fuel awaiting ignition, and resulting wildfires are often more difficult and dangerous to control. Additionally, a rapidly developing wildland-urban interface (WUI) has increased the number of residents and structures at risk from wildfire. To address these issues, a group of multi-jurisdictional agencies (federal, state, and local), organizations, stakeholders, and residents have developed the Northern Utah Regional Wildfire Protection Plan.

And the spaces won't be spaces anymore... Developers paid better than the corn But this is not where they were born... There's houses in the fields And the last few farms are growing out of here. The common thread of public comment received during the development of this plan was directed towards maintaining the rural lifestyle and open spaces of Tooele County, while accommodating growth and change. The public policy recommendations in this plan are directed toward a future for Tooele County where the spaces will be spaces.
