BOX ELDER COUNTY, Utah — A wildfire in Box Elder County near the Great Salt Lake has burned over 10,000 acres as high-speed winds impact the area.
As of 3:37 p.m., the Brushy Fire has reached 10,002 acres and is at 25 percent containment. Officials also warn the public to stay out of the fire area and to ground any unauthorized drones.
Winds reached 75 miles per hour Thursday evening, pushing the fire over the dozer line, created earlier Thursday afternoon, fueling further spread.
Officials confirm crews are continuing to work as conditions "remain dynamic and rapidly changing."
Earlier Thursday afternoon, officials confirmed no structures or values were threatened except for range lands.
