Wildfires raging across Beehive State

Several wildfires have broken out statewide as firefighters respond to multiple blazes during a "Particularly Dangerous Situation" Red Flag Warning. The National Weather Service warned the combination of high winds, low humidity, extremely dry fuels and a large wildfire had created a rare and dangerous situation. Significant fire activity was visible Friday evening from U.S. Highway 6 in Juab County as firefighters battled multiple wildfires across the area, officials said. Crews were working to suppress the Iron Fire near Eureka along U.S. Highway 6, the Highway 36 Fire near Tintic Junction on State Route 36, the Maple Peak Fire west of the U.S. 6 rest area, and the Cherry Fire in the Weiss and Cherry Creek area. An evacuation was ordered for all Eureka, Mammoth, and Silver City residents, as well as the area surrounding Vernon Reservoir and Lofgreen.
