Officials are holding a 7 p.m. press conference to share updates on the Dollar Ridge Fire in Duchesne County.
The human-caused blaze has burned more than 47,489 acres in Utah’s Uinta Basin since it began July 1. At least 90 homes have been lost, and more than 1,000 people have been evacuated.
By Saturday evening, crews had gotten 30 percent of the fire contained, up from 5 percent the day before.
