Neola North Fire

The Neola North Fire was a major wildfire which occurred in the Ashley National Forest in northeastern Utah.

[7] The fire broke out on Friday, June 29, 2007, at around 9:00 a.m. local time in Duchesne County, north of the unincorporated community of Neola.

It proceeded to spread eastward into Uintah County, and threatened the small communities of Whiterocks, Farm Creek, and Paradise.

One branch of the fire was prevented from spreading westwards before it reached Dry Creek Canyon and the town of Tridell.

But having taken photos of the early fire and offered assistance to contain it they were refused access to the land by a Ute tribal member.
