#BonnevilleFire morning update for 6-21-26. Currently mapped at 395 acres and 0% contained. The fire remained active overnight, and firefighters worked the perimeter throughout the night.

Still no residences under evacuation, and the shelter in place was lifted around midnight last night. We still ask residents and the public to avoid the area as much as possible to not impede firefighter traffic.

A TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction) is in place over the fire area. Drones are prohibited within the TFR. The trails in the area are also closed (Bonneville Trail, City Creek, Dry Creek, Red Butte). Law enforcement will be patrolling the area and dealing with and intrusions, either drones or trails.

The loud booms heard in the salt lake valley are from Tooele Army Depot, they are conducting detonations in the south range & will soon wrap up. No threat.

Prepare for potentially dangerous winds!

Dangerous easterly downslope winds are expected to develop Thursday morning, peaking mid-day Thursday, and continuing into Friday morning. Now is the time to prepare! The highest impacts are expected in prone areas in Weber and Davis counties, with gusts between 70-85 mph likely. Other areas, such as Salt Lake, eastern Box Elder, and Cache counties, can expect wind gusts between 50-70 mph across eastern portions of valleys.

To avoid straining your eyes at work, use the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, go for a 20-minute hike and spend the next 20 years in the woods.

Acts of kindness that feel small to us have a big impact on others.

Research: kids and adults underestimate how tiny acts of generosity lift others' moods.

There's no easier way to make someone's day than to offer a compliment, give a little gift, or send a handwritten note.
