IRON COUNTY, Utah — The Sawmill Fire in Iron County has doubled in size in less than 24 hours, growing to over 2,000 acres on Wednesday.
Utah fire officials said Wednesday afternoon that the fire has grown to 2086 acres as it burns near Steamboat Mountain, and remains 0% contained.
The evacuation of a half-dozen cabins and yurts within a few miles of the fire was done out of an abundance of caution, according to authorities. Anyone with property in the area who has questions regarding evacuations is asked to call the Iron County Sheriff's Office.
Should the fire threaten permanent homes, the sheriff's office said it will deploy a reverse 911 to alert residents.
