A fast-moving vegetation fire broke out at Parley’s Historic Nature Park in Utah on Sunday, expanding to nearly 15 acres and prompting highway closures as firefighters worked to contain the blaze.
The fire began near the 2700 block of South 2700 East in the Canyon Rim area, along the boundary between Salt Lake City and Millcreek, opposite Tanner Park.
According to the Millcreek Municipal Government, the fire has grown but does not currently pose an immediate threat to nearby homes. Fire crews remain on the scene, carrying out structure protection efforts, while power outages have been reported in parts of the Canyon Rim area.
Authorities have closed sections of Interstate 215, including the exit from Interstate 80 to I-215, and have urged the public to avoid the area to allow emergency responders to work safely.
Officials have not yet determined the cause of the fire. No evacuation orders have been issued, and no injuries have been reported. Firefighters continue to monitor the situation as containment operations remain underway.
