Public works updates road projects as county reads emergency management note about small wildland fire
Summary
Public Works Director Mike Casper reported on paving, chipsealing and patching projects; Emergency Management reported a roughly one‑acre fire in the Pinn Willie's area likely caused by dragging equipment, with suppression resources responding.
Public Works Director Mike Casper updated the Duchesne County Commission on recent road projects and preparations for chipsealing while Emergency Management provided a separate email update about a small wildland fire in the Pinn Willie's area.
Casper said crews helped Hanna Water complete paving on Tabby Swale Road, completed work on Charlie Hansen Road (CR 82) in Arcadia, and will begin receiving oil for upcoming chipsealing projects. He noted ongoing patching work, plans to chip the road near the Myton rodeo grounds and logistics for storing chips in Myton. Commissioners discussed a resident complaint about cracking sealant pulling up and sticking to truck tires; Casper said staff are investigating causes.
Commissioner Miles read an email from Emergency Management Director Josh Phillips reporting a Friday evening fire that burned about an acre, likely caused by a dragging chain or sparks from a trailer; county, state and municipal resources responded. The update said drought conditions are increasing fire risk and that mitigation work on Highway 208 will continue this week and next.
