DUCK CREEK, Kane County — A fast-moving wildfire near Duck Creek Village has spurred the evacuation of four subdivisions and continues to grow.
"This is a very fluid fire. It's got a lot of fuel in which to burn from," inter-agency fire information officer Mark Wilkening said of the Shingle Fire.
The Shingle Fire started Sunday in Shingle Mill Canyon and quickly burned about 500 acres, causing a mandatory evacuation order for the Swains Creek and Stout Canyons subdivisions in the Dixie National Forest. The subdivisions of Harris Flat and Elk Ridge were evacuated Monday, and campers in the Uinta Flat were encouraged to relocate and told to expect evacuation soon.
A type 2 incident management team has been called into battle the blaze.
