U of U ALERT: All Clear—Bonneville Fire is 100% Contained
Thu Jul 02, 2026 7:37 AM
The Bonneville Fire that burned the foothills northeast of the University of Utah campus last week is now 100% contained and trails near the U have reopened.
Campus operations, including U of U Health facilities, classes and special events have all returned to normal.
Please be aware that the U follows Salt Lake City fireworks restrictions, and the city has issued a ban on fireworks through July 5. All personal fireworks are banned within the city, including on the U campus. Professional fireworks with proper permitting, such as those that will be displayed at Monster Jam July 2-4, are allowed.
Be aware that rain in the area may cause mudslides throughout the Bonneville Fire burn scar. Downhill residents should be aware of potential debris flows and flooding and follow flood response guidance. The U is also preparing to protect facilities on campus in the unlikely event that structures might be impacted.
