A fire ignited in the Spanish Fork River Bottoms around noon Monday, burning 0.75 acres before it was put out by Spanish Fork Fire and other neighboring fire departments Monday afternoon.

“Crews helped make fast attack on a fire, and it was quickly extinguished,” Spanish Fork Fire and EMS said. “Thank you to the crews for the hard work!”

The fire came less than 24 hours after two separate wildfires broke out in Saratoga Springs west of Utah Lake on Sunday afternoon and blazed through several acres of vegetation before being contained.

The fires happened almost simultaneously, said Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands spokesperson Karl Hunt. Soldier Fire burned 30 acres and the Range fire burned 37.5 acres.

The Range Fire was ignited by someone shooting at a still target at a shooting range, while the cause of the Soldier Fire remains under investigation.

“Target shooting is one of those behaviors that we talk about with fire sense,” Hunt said. “Be careful while we’re out there shooting, because it can lead to a wildfire, and we saw that yesterday.”

The fires occurred as hot, dry weather persists throughout the state. The fire danger is particularly high in southern Utah, Hunt said, where three fires continue to burn.

The France Canyon Fire was discovered last Wednesday and has burned 1,496 acres near Bryce Canyon National Park and is 0% contained, according to Utah Fire Info. The Bridge Creek fire in San Juan County near Lake Powell started Friday and has burned 260 acres uncontained, while the Westwater Fire found Sunday in San Juan County has burned 18 acres uncontained.

“Not in Northern Utah right now, but in just a lot of the state, central and southern Utah, they’re under a Red Flag Warning, and that’s when there’s high winds,” Hunt said. “The winds dry out those fuels as well, and just makes it difficult to sometimes stop a fire if it starts, just because, when it’s wind driven, it’s got erratic behavior in those red flag winds, and so you have to be extra careful.”

Hunt warned people be mindful of fire restrictions as the Fourth of July and firework season approaches.

“You can go to Utahfireinfo.gov, click on fire restrictions,” he said. “It’ll take you there, and you can see if your county has a fire restriction. If it does, we say please heed what those restrictions say. And then the other part is, don’t light fireworks near dry vegetation, and don’t light them on public lands. They’re not allowed on public lands. So just do them in a nice, safe space.”
