Salt Creek Fire - Payson Canyon

Since I've become the Fire Information Officer (FIO) for the family regarding fires burning in Utah, I figured I'd provide some graphic representation of the fire burning in Payson Canyon. The Salt Creek Fire is burning in the part of the canyon we've rarely visited -- past the Nebo Mountain Overlook. That's usually where I stop, at least.

The fire has burned over 18,000 acres and about half of that is on the National Forest, so I anticipate I'll be getting a request to help map this fella. In this graphic, the blue blob is the fire perimeter. For more (accurate) information about this fire, check out http://www.inciweb.org/incident/860/. Hope the smoke isn't too bad down there!

I hope you guys get rain. We weren't supposed to really get any today but got a lot in one hour. I feel bad that we have gotten so much and you guys haven't gotten any.
