Saturday, an interlocal fire crew made up of state and federal firefighters took over suppression efforts, Clark said. The fire could be contained within two or three days.

In Tooele County, the Little Bald Mountain fire also continues to burn through South Willow Canyon, near Grantsville. U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Kathy Jo Pollock said Saturday that the fire had spread to about 600 acres.

Firefighters are working to construct a fire line and continue to battle to keep the fire from spreading through campgrounds. Eight 20-person crews, 13 engines and three helicopters were working to contain the fire Saturday.

Box Elder Canyon, South Willow Canyon and North Willow Canyon have been closed. The fire is two miles from a residential area. However, no evacuations have been ordered.

The Wagstaff fire, about 8 miles east of Tabiona in Duchesne County, began about 1 p.m. Friday. The cause is still under investigation. The 400-acre fire is 40 percent contained and is expected to be completely contained this evening. No homes have been threatened, and no evacuations have been ordered.
