Jaw dropping timelapse from the #BabylonFire. Observed torching several times near the ridge top. Shot near Blanding City 4th Reservoir. #UTwx #UTFire

My home for the next two weeks. I’m on my first fire assignment as an Air Resource Advisor trainee at the #BabylonFire in eastern Utah and will hopefully be posting frequent air quality updates throughout my assignment! #UTFire #utwx

Fire activity was limited today, but a new column went up late in the day as the fire hit a strand of heavier fuel. Still hot and dry, but less wind. Watching iso t-storms Monday-Tuesday then stronger winds Wednesday. Goodnight from night 4 on the #BabylonFire.

The good news last night is that the fire in Bears Ears #BabylonFire is 44% contained

I'll think about Trump rolling back Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante tomorrow, I have local community building to do today

Sunset on my 10th day on the #BabylonFire. Some concern for tonight’s air quality as a strong ridge of high pressure begins to build overhead. Wouldn’t be shocked to see some Unhealthy readings. #UTwx #UTFire

The #Quiet early morning was tinted with heartbreak. The #BabylonFire in SE Utah is burning up the Abajos and simultaneously, the #FerrisFire is burning the Lower Dolores River Canyon — two wild places that are treasured by those of us that call the Four Corners region home. #BlueSkyArtShow

Farewell, Utah! My time on the #BabylonFire has come to an end. Thankfully, Mother Nature is (mostly) cooperating and fire behavior has moderated considerably. Thank you to Great Basin Team 2 for making my first fire assignment a good one. #UTwx #UTFire

Really cool opportunity to help launch a sonde with fellow @uwatmossci.bsky.social grad and IMET Tom Schuldt in support of the #BabylonFire. PWAT of 0.72" and DCAPE of 1335 J/kg raises concerns for dry lightning and strong outflow winds today. Photos to come! #UTwx #UTFire

Ventured to the Needles Overlook today to observe smoke from the #BabylonFire. Smoke was slow to clear from this morning. This might have played a role in a slightly less active fire this afternoon. We also found a neat rock formation.

A few intra-cloud lightning strikes are being detected in the vicinity of the #BabylonFire and the #FerrisFire by the Geostationary Lightning Mapper aboard the GOES-19 weather satellite. A few cloud-to-ground strikes are possible this afternoon.

Five structures were lost to the #BabylonFire in southeastern Utah as of Wed, 7/8, the US Forest Service confirmed, as crews faced extreme heat and fuel-driven winds.

Satellite footage from NOAA shows the heat signatures from several fires in Utah and Colorado as they burned on Monday.

A friend captured this incredible sunset image of the Abajos succumbing to the Babylon Fire in SE Utah, as seen from Colorado (pc: K. Hayes).

Air quality data is flowing at ICP for the #BabylonFire. Southwest winds have brought good AQ back to camp, but we expect deteriorating conditions overnight as smoke settles along HWY 191 following another active day of fire activity in the region. #utwx #UTfire
