SPRINGVILLE — A wildfire is producing heavy smoke and flames close to the border of Provo and Springville in Utah County, fire officials said Thursday.
The blaze, dubbed the Miracle Fire, is burning near the 1400 North exit on I-15 in Springville, according to Utah Fire Info. As of just before 6 p.m., it was estimated at 15 acres as it continues to grow.
The fire is burning in marshy terrain and phragmites, which is making conditions difficult for fire crews to access it. No structures or homes are threatened at this time.
Photos show a thick cloud of black smoke billowing over the southbound lanes of I-15, and flames visibly burning in vegetation on the west side of the freeway.
Smoke from the fire is impacting visibility on I-15. Officials also warned that a possible wind shift could impact the Provo Airport.
