Miracle Fire Sends Smoke Across I-15 Near Provo as Crews Call In Air Support

Air crews are being called in to reach parts of the blaze that ground teams cannot access.

Overview

  • The vegetation fire, dubbed the Miracle Fire, is burning in marshy phragmites near milepost 261 along the Provo–Springville border.
  • Heavy smoke has drifted over Interstate 15, reducing visibility and affecting traffic in the area.
  • Marsh conditions have limited ground access, and incident command has requested aircraft to attack hard-to-reach sections.
  • No homes or structures are threatened, and officials are watching for a wind shift that could affect Provo Airport.
  • Cooler evening temperatures slowed fire activity Thursday night, with crews monitoring overnight and planning a reassessment on Friday.
