North Logan honors firefighters after Green Canyon blaze; water and road projects continue

The North Logan City Council opened its Aug. 20 meeting by honoring Chief Thompson and other firefighters who responded to the Green Canyon fire on Aug. 17, 2025. Councilmembers praised the coordinated response that contained the blaze without structural losses.

Chief Thompson reported that the fire was “officially…listed at 16 acres” and credited mutual‑aid crews and state air resources for containment; staff said containment was roughly 80% the evening of the meeting and expected to reach full containment soon. Council praised the work of Logan City Fire Department crews, the North Logan Community Emergency Response Team and public‑works staff.

City manager Alan and staff also briefed the council on ongoing capital projects. Key updates:

• Treatment plant upgrades: staff reported ongoing work on the chlorine contact chamber and said the project is moving forward.

• 4‑million‑gallon water tank: staff said the large tank excavation is complete and crews would begin pouring the floor in two to three weeks.

• Roads and bridges: crews are replacing a bridge at 2750 North, finishing 600 East and preparing the 2850 North corridor for paving in the coming weeks. Staff also described small right‑of‑way acquisitions tied to COG (Council of Governments) road projects.

Council members asked about operations and school‑crossing safety; police said officers were staffed at crosswalks during the first days of school and that traffic flow near the roundabout and Cedar Ridge has been smooth.

What’s next: staff will return with project timelines and any final contract or acquisition documents for council approval.
