A wildfire ignited overnight in Juab County, Utah, and has rapidly expanded to over 1,000 acres, spreading into areas of Juab and Tooele counties.
No structures are presently at risk from the flames, but the fire activity from the Iron Fire and Sawmill Fire in Iron County is adding to the hazy skies observed across Utah.
A significant portion of the smoke is originating from larger wildfires burning in Nevada and Arizona.
The fire is being fought by several fire crews on the ground and in the air, with additional resources en route.
Utah Fire Info reported that smoke can disperse over hundreds of miles influenced by wind and weather conditions.
Vulnerable populations should reduce their outdoor activities when smoke levels rise, and check local air quality forecasts prior to engaging in outdoor activities for extended periods.
