A vegetation fire, dubbed the Saratoga Fire, broke out in Utah on Saturday, approximately 5 miles west of Mahogany St & Roman Street. The fire, covering 2 acres at the time of writing, is rapidly moving and has prompted a Level 3 evacuation order for Mahogany Street.

Smoke from the fire could be seen from the nearby city of Eagle Mountain, about 11.2 miles away. Unified Fire Authority crews are responding to the wildfire, with no structures threatened at this time.

Residents are advised to avoid the area and allow crews space to work. Several photos shared on social media show the intensity of the blaze, with one person noting the high wind speed was not helping the situation.
