Live fire 50 caliber machine gun training had been scheduled at Camp Williams for the afternoon of Sunday, 19 September 2010. As is common in the area during the late summer, the east winds off of the Wasatch Mountains picked up in the afternoon. On the previous Thursday afternoon, the National Weather Service issued a Fire Weather Watch for Saturday and Sunday. On Friday afternoon, it upgraded the alert to a Red Flag Warning for the entire weekend.〔("National Guard: 'We shot in the face of a Red Flag Warning'" ) ''KSL Broadcasting'' Salt Lake City, Utah, 20 September 2010, archived (here ) at Freezepage〕 Despite the dry conditions and base protocols that interdicted live-fire training during Red Flag conditions, a unit of the Utah National Guard commenced the live-fire exercise, although no highly flammable tracer rounds were used.〔This was the fifth fire in 15 years to escape the base, and each year numerous ones are extinguished by base fire-fighters.
