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.

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

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.
