(KSL News) Windy weather today had firefighters in Salt Lake on alert.
Crews had two problems on the same street. They say lightning or winds downed power lines on the same pole.
One line hit the roof of Rico's restaurant and started it on fire. Other lines hit and started burning through the pole.
Crews got both fires under control.
Those winds are not welcome to crews trying to control fires around the state.
The latest example is the Coal Mine fire, on the north slope of the Uinta mountains. It has burned almost 100 acres of wood, debris and heavy timber.
Firefighters are setting up containment lines tonight and are attacking flames from the ground and air.
