SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah firefighters are among the U.S. federal and state personnel who have traveled to Australia to help stop brush fires that have prompted a national emergency. The Deseret News reported Tuesday that five federal agencies and 10 states including Utah have sent 21 firefighters to Australia. The state of emergency was declared due to a massive fire near Sydney, with other national park and mountain fires expected to fuse as brush fires continue to spread across 1,563 square miles of Australia. Officials say the fires have been fueled by 25 mph winds amid temperatures reaching 113 degrees.
