(KSL News) -- Part of I-15 was closed Sunday evening after smoke from several fires made it impossible for drivers to see the road.

Three fires crews are fighting the blazes; named Interchange Fires one, two and three. The fires are burning near the junction of I-15 and Highway 70, near Cove Fort.

They're mostly being fueled by cheat grass and sage brush -- together burning about 150 acres so far.

Crews have been attacking the blazes by air and ground.

The freeway is back open again.
