SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, June 22, 2026 (Gephardt Daily) — As of Monday evening, the Bonneville fire is estimated at 566 acres and about 46% contained.
“Fire managers are confident we will see an increase in containment tonight,” an update on Utah Fire Info says.
“The ‘Ready’ status has been lifted for Arlington Hills and there are correctly no areas of any level of evacuations on this fire. Residents should continue to follow fire updates, but the threat to the community is minimal at this time.”
The smoke in the air in the Salt Lake Valley is mostly from the #HastingsFire near Tooele, the statement says, adding that “with the wind blowing east, the smoke from their firing operations is blowing towards Salt Lake.
“There was minimal fire behavior today, mostly creeping and smoldering in the understory of the oak and larger vegetation,” the Bonneville Fire update says.
“The firefighters were able to get a fire break around the entire perimeter. Most of the edge was cold, and crews continue to cool the remaining heat sources that are found. Air attack was available to support but at this point in the fire suppression efforts, aviation isn’t as effective as firefighters on the ground.
“The firefighters will strengthen the fire breaks in the next few days, working to reach full containment. There are currently no evacuations or communities directly threatened by the fire. The structure protection crews will remain on scene in case conditions change. The trails remain closed to the public.
“The Northern Utah Incident Management Team is coordinating with Red Butte Gardens to avoid any impacts to the planned events this week. While it is safe to attend these events, we remind the public to take extra precaution in the area.”
