Overview
- A vegetation fire broke out near the 1400 block of Canyon Road close to the mouth of Logan Canyon and the Utah State University area, prompting door-to-door mandatory evacuations and a 1.5-mile evacuation zone centered on 600 East and Canyon Road.
- Multiple local and regional fire agencies set up a command post near Herm’s Inn and are conducting active structure-protection operations around residences near 1420 East.
- Authorities closed US 89 (400 North) between 400 East and 1500 East and opened an emergency shelter at Green Canyon High School for residents who could not return home.
- Estimates of the fire’s size vary across sources—radio traffic and Watch Duty reported roughly 5–10 acres while other local reports put it nearer 30–40 acres—and officials said the cause remains under investigation with no injuries reported so far.
- The incident highlights the risks at the urban‑wildland interface where dry vegetation can drive rapid spread, and officials warned residents to follow official Everbridge alerts and avoid calling 911 for routine updates.
