STOCKTON, Tooele County — Crews are battling a new wildfire that sparked on South Mountain in Tooele County Monday night.
The fire is currently 200 acres and 0% contained, North Tooele Fire District spokesman Jon Smith said.
Photos sent to KSL Monday night show bright orange flames torching parts of the mountainside.
The fire is burning in an area south of Stansbury Park and west of Tooele.
Crews from multiple agencies are working to fight the fire, but efforts may be challenging in the dark, Smith said.
No evacuations are underway, but at least one structure is threatened — a communication tower that sits atop South Mountain, Smith said.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
A red flag warning went into effect early on Monday, with critical fire danger for portions of northwestern Utah, including areas south of I-80, according to the National Weather Service.
