"This group here - We've got people from Utah, Corlorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico and some from Arizona, we've pulled from all over the place," said Jeff Mulcahy, a volunteer and incident commander with Team Rubicon. "Basically to create defensive space between the homes and the creek; the fire hazard that's here." Along with staff from Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands, Bureau of Land Management, Moab Valley Fire Department City of Moab and Rim to Rim Restoration; Rubicon volunteers put in the hard work clearing brush and removing hazardous fuels.
