(Rick Egan | Tribune file photo) The Saddle Fire burns near Dutch Canyon Road in Midway on May 12. So far this year, Utah has seen 237 wildfires, which scarred nearly 3,000 acres and it's not even June. This is nearly four times more fires than this time last year and 95% were human caused, fire officials said Tuesday.
