Eric Eastep, Assistant Fire Management Officer for the Cedar City Ranger District visits the Shingle Fire area on the Dixie National Forest in Southern Utah one year after the fire (filmed in 2013). Eric describes the importance of a healthy ecosystem and the role that aspen play in the forest ecosystem. Aspen are now growing where the Shingle Fire burned. Aspen are a disturbance dependent species. Disturbances such as wildfire may help aspen areas to regenerate and thrive. The Shingle Fire began July 1, 2012, in the Shingle Mill Canyon area on the Dixie National Forest in Utah. The wind driven fire grew to a total of 8,062 acres. The fire was 100% contained on July 10, 2012.
