SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Fire crews are making progress containing several wildfires across Utah despite high temperatures and windy conditions that prompted officials to issue red flag warnings in much of the state. Nearly 300 firefighters on Sunday had contained 10% of the lightning-caused Bear Fire, which had charred 16 square miles several miles northwest of Helper, or about 90 miles southeast of Salt Lake City. The Salt Lake Tribune reports containment doubled from Saturday and that crews hoped to remove vegetation ahead of the fire.
