It's Fire Season and Election Day on Tuesday's Access Utah

UtahFireInfo.Gov

One of the worst fire seasons in recent memory appears to just be getting started in Utah. Tuesday on Access Utah we’ll get the latest news from Salt Lake Tribune reporters and talk to Utah residents affected by the fires. We’ll also ask BLM Utah Fire Manager, Sheldon Wimmer, what we can do to reduce the risk of fire in the current very dangerous conditions. 

For up-to-date information on the fire situations occurring in Utah, follow Utah Fire Info on Twitter or visit their website

And, since Tuesday is Election Day, we’ll turn our attention to the nomination races that will be decided.  Those races include Republican primaries for President, Senate, Attorney General, and Auditor; a Democratic primary for House District #1; and a decision by Constitution Party voters on their candidate for Governor.
