ERDA, Utah — Firefighters were able to fully contain a wildfire that sparked over the weekend in the Oquirrh Mountains in Tooele County.
The "West Oquirrh Mountain Fire" was human-caused and broke out around noon on Saturday near Erda.
While no structures were threatened and no evacuations were issued, smoke from the fire could be seen from across the Tooele Valley.
The fire was estimated to have grown to up to 280 acres before it was put out.
“We’ll have hand crews on the mountain for the next couple of days to ensure it doesn’t spark back up,” said Jon Smith with the North Tooele Fire District.
