Firefighters set up camp in Spring City’s city park as they work alongside crews battling the fire, which has burned about 3,500 acres across Sanpete and Emery counties. Two of those crews from Australia Forest Fire Management arrived this weekend from Victoria, Australia. “They do bring special skills.

They are highly trained, and they’re in great shape,” said Amy Forsgren with Nevada Team One. “They have just settled in right along next to our firefighters and our divisions and are doing a fantastic job. It has been a real privilege to work with them.”
