The Iron Fire in Juab County has scorched over 24,000 acres since it ignited on Friday, but fire officials expect to make progress in containing the blaze today.

Officials are still working to determine what sparked the human-caused wildfire, said Toby Weed, public information officer for Great Basin Complex Incident Management Team 3.

The team, which includes firefighting partners from federal and state agencies across Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming and Arizona, assumed command of the wildfire this morning, according to the Utah Division of Natural Resources’ Utah Fire Info.

The entire town of Eureka, home to roughly 600 full-time residents, is still under evacuation, but Weed expects the evacuation won’t continue for “too long.” A Latter-day Saint chapel in Elberta is housing a few evacuees but most people are residing with loved ones while the firefighting continues, Weed said.

Fire officials will hold a public meeting tonight at 6:30 p.m. at Apple Valley Elementary in Santaquin to update residents, Weed added. Fire officials also expect to set up an information line for residents at some point Monday.

More than 400 firefighters have been dispatched to combat the blaze, Weed said. The fire is currently at 0% containment, but teams have been able to establish an anchor point on the edge of Eureka to safely engage the wildfire, and Weed expects crews to make progress in containing the fire by Monday afternoon. A containment level marks the perimeter of the blaze where crews feel confident it will not move beyond.

Firefighters are working from the anchor point and creeping in on the east and west flanks of the fire to ensure the fire can’t grow further, Weed added. So far a few small outbuildings such as sheds have been burned, he said, but no residences have been damaged.

No significant injuries have been reported in the firefighting as of this morning, Weed said.

Three large helicopters, along with a few smaller helicopters, have worked to extinguish the fire using water from Utah Lake. A larger air-attack plane is directing air traffic from higher up in the sky, and the plane can also call in firefighting planes — known as air tankers — if necessary, Weed added.

As for today’s forecast, Weed said firefighters expect continued warm, dry and breezy conditions. He added that they expect the fire to expand, but they are not expecting “huge growth.”

Firefighters stopped the wildfire’s progression into Eureka on Saturday night, so the fire isn’t threatening the area as much anymore. The main concern is controlling “residual heat” in the area to make sure it’s safe for people to return.

“I think we’re getting the upper hand on the fire,” Weed said.

“The neat thing about having a complex incident management team is that we can get a lot of resources,” he added. ”We have the capability of really crushing this thing.”
