During a recent meeting at Rocky Vista University, officials highlighted critical fire risk areas in Ivins, Utah, using a detailed risk assessment map. The map categorizes areas into three risk levels: green for low risk, yellow for moderate risk, and red for high risk.

The discussion emphasized that properties closer to structures, such as commercial and residential buildings, face greater fire risks. Notably, sections of the Santa Clara River were identified as having no associated fire risk, underscoring the varied levels of vulnerability across the region.

This assessment aims to inform residents and local authorities about potential fire hazards, enabling better preparedness and response strategies. As fire season approaches, understanding these risk areas is crucial for community safety and planning.
