The Jacob City Fire in Tooele County is pushing smoke into the Salt Lake Valley. Erratic winds have driven the fire & is estimated at 2100 acres. Evacuations are taking place for campers in the Middle Canyon area. This wildfire is burning 4 miles from the Salt Lake County line.
#HalfwayHillFire is estimated at 6640 acres. Erratic wind gusts have grounded the fixed-wing air resources. Below is a video of a Type 1 helicopter dipping from “pumpkins” to suppress the flames.
This is right outside our @FiizDrinks soda shop in Fillmore, UT. Prayers for the community and the wildland firefighters working in extreme heat
