Wild Horse Fire Grows to 1,000 Acres in Millard County

Cooler, calmer weather could give crews a chance to slow the spread.

Overview

  • The wildfire burning southwest of Leamington has reached an estimated 1,000 acres with 0% containment.
  • Officials closed Leamington Pass and Fool Creek Roads to keep traffic away from active firefighting.
  • Ten structures in the Fool Creek area were briefly at risk, but officials now report no current threats and no evacuations.
  • Gusty winds and steep, rocky slopes have slowed crews working in grass and sagebrush that carry fire quickly.
  • More firefighters and aircraft are joining the response as cooler, more humid conditions are expected to support a direct attack on the perimeter.
