Unified Fire Authority is responding, and Salt Lake City Fire Department is assisting.

They said structures are threatened, and crews are working to protect those structures. It's not yet known if those include homes or if any evacuations are underway.
UDOT says the ramp from eastbound I-80 to southbound I-215 is closed due to the fires. Southbound Foothill Drive to I-215 is also closed.
