MILLARD COUNTY, Utah — A wildfire in central Utah is now 95 percent contained after surpassing 7,000 acres.
The "Wild Horse Fire" was sparked Wednesday in Millard County. On Monday, state wildfire officials said it was 7,025 acres and 95% contained.
"Fire activity is greatly diminished, and crews have been able to work their way around the perimeter," the Fishlake National Forest branch of the U.S. Forest Service said. "They continue to mop up heat sources, utilizing air support when necessary. The plan is to continue these actions until full containment is reached."
Leamington Pass and Fool Creek Road have been reopened, although officials urge anyone traveling through the area to be extra cautious as the crews continue to work on the containment.
No structures have been at risk, but the fire grew rapidly at first because of strong wind gusts.
The cause of the fire is not yet known.
