(KSL News) A wildfire in Box Elder County has burned more than 800 acres.

The Devil's fire was started by lightning near Emigration Pass last night.

When crews first arrived on the scene, it covered just over 100 acres, but a large number of juniper trees fueling the fire caused it to spread quickly. More than 100 firefighters spent the day fighting the flames today and reached 60 percent containment.

No structures are threatened and no injuries have been reported.
