 Officials are tightening rules on fires across eight central Utah counties. An interagency announcement was released last week explaining stage one fire restrictions have been put in place for areas in Beaver, Garfield, Juab, Millard, Paiute, Sanpete, Sevier, and Wayne counties. The restrictions come as several wildfires have charred the region recently, including the Little Twist and Silver King fires. It's also in response to hot and dry weather conditions across the area.
