As of 5:00 pm, the fire was not an “active threat” to any structures.

Firefighting efforts have been negated by impromptu micro-bursts of wind. This resulted in a precautionary evacuation from Wasatch County Fire officials.

Carson said as of June 1, permits are required for controlled burning in Wasatch County.
