Spencer Cox: “More than 84% of those [wildfires] were human caused.”

“And the reality is that most of these fires are not caused by lightning or natural events, but the vast majority are caused by human activity. So so far this year, Utah's experience already 115 wildfires well ahead of normal. More than 84% of those [wildfires] were human caused. That means that the vast majority of these fires are preventable. And we often say that the fire sense is common sense. And so we're begging Utahns everywhere this year to please use your common sense.” (06:13–06:17)
