BOX ELDER COUNTY, Utah — A new wildfire broke out Tuesday afternoon in Box Elder County, and officials say some structures are threatened.
Utah Wildfire Info (part of the Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands) reported around 6:30 p.m. that the fire was burning near the town of Collinston, near the border between Box Elder County and Cache County.
Just minutes after the initial announcement, the agency said firefighters had established a line around the fire's perimeter. By 8:45 p.m., it was 100 percent contained.
Officials said structures were threatened, and the fire reached within 75 yards. The crews have since managed to stop its forward progression, however.
"Thanks to the swift action of responding crews, the fire was held to just 4.5 acres — much smaller than initially anticipated," Utah Wildfire Info wrote in a Facebook post. The original estimate was 100 acres.
The cause of the "Beaver Dam Fire" is unknown.
