Wind shift helps crews battle South Mountain Fire in Tooele County
The South Mountain Fire burning west of Stockton in Tooele County was mapped at 1,863 acres late Tuesday afternoon. Crews have actively engaged the fire and have been aided by the weather, according to Utah Fire Info. On Tuesday, the wind shifted and blew the fire back onto itself. The fire was first reported just before 9 p.m. Monday and was initially estimated at 200 acres. Fire crews from several local, state and federal agencies responded immediately. Fire officials said the fire was moving downhill to the north, with flames between 8 and 12 feet long. The North Tooele Fire District said wind gusts of up to 50 mph and dry conditions contributed to the fire's rapid growth. 🔗More at https://bit.ly/4xAoNyT _______________ Hit the subscribe button to stay up-to-date on the latest news, and turn on the notifications to get alerted when the big stories break as we bring them to you live!
