The Dugway Fire started at approximately 3 a.m. and is estimated to have burned 15-20 acres. Firefighters said they have already made good progress on the fire's east side.

While officials said homes near Bybee Drive are in a zone where they could be threatened, but no evacuations have been ordered.

Smoke from the fire is impacting traffic on the US-89 corridor. Earlier in the morning, the Utah Department of Transportation closed northbound lanes of US-89 at the I-84 Junction, but traffic has since been reopened.
