BLM West Desert District Office

From Open Energy Information




BLM-Utah is divided into five fire zones, with the West Desert Fire, Fuels, and Aviation Program being the largest and most complex organization in the state. The program is supported by two different dispatch centers - the Northern Utah Interagency Fire Center in the north and the Richfield Interagency Fire Center in the southern end of the district. The program is challenged not only by 7.7 million acres of public land to protect, but also by the growing wildland-urban interface.
