Good morning, Orem. Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 27th of June.
ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ On Wednesday evening, a wildfire on private and U.S. Forest Service land burned about 25 acres above Cedar Hills and threatened roughly 100 homes near Mount Timpanogos. By 11 p.m., crews achieved 20% containment, limited access along Morgan Boulevard (with no structures damaged) and continued to monitor the situation as winds picked up. Daily Herald
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ At a meeting at the Utah State Capitol, four Upper Basin commissioners warned that the Colorado River system is near failure from low reservoir levels and may adopt a 'divorce' from Lower Basin states — a change that would shift water release commitments. Federal officials set deadlines that call for an agreement by Nov. 11, plan details by Feb. 14, 2026, and a final decision by June 2026. The Salt Lake Tribune
- ➤ Four local Utah companies hold active contracts with ICE, including a Provo-based shooting range manufacturer and Management and Training Corporation, which runs detention centers, and one company spent $22,500 lobbying Congress for more funding amid protests and concerns over detainee treatment—highlighting growing local ties to federal immigration enforcement. The Salt Lake Tribune
HEALTH NEWS
- ➤ State health officials said that two more measles cases were reported on Thursday, bringing the total to five in less than one week with three cases in Utah County and two in the southwest—all in unvaccinated people, including two pregnant patients. They urged residents to get the MMR vaccine—since it helps reduce severe illness—while warning that further cases could be identified in the coming weeks. FOX 13
- ➤ State health officials confirmed five measles cases in Utah, including the first case in a child, & none of the patients were vaccinated while two were hospitalized and have since been released. Officials urged everyone exposed to call ahead before going to a clinic and recommended vaccination for women planning pregnancy because pregnant patients face high risks if infected.
