Teams of fire, structural, and law enforcement personnel have completed an evaluation of the structures that were affected by the Uintah Fire that started September 9 southeast of Ogden, Utah near the community of Uintah.
Their findings:
- 3 Homes destroyed
- 2 Homes damaged
- 1 Mixed commercial property damaged
- 8 Other structures damaged (sheds, outbuildings etc.)
- 4 Other structures destroyed (sheds, outbuildings etc.)
Total: 18 destroyed or damaged structures
Strong down canyon winds pushed the fire rapidly to the west, burning into a residential area and along the Interstate 84 corridor.
Many homes, however, were saved, as you can see in the videos below:
