A wildfire on a mountain in south Provo has burnt 250 acres, though firefighters say no structures are threatened.
Smoke from the wildfire was visible Wednesday morning across Provo and the neighboring cities. The fire is burning along Provo’s boundary with Springville near Oregon and Alaska Avenues. The latter street has given the blaze its name: The Alaska Fire.
The Provo Police Department said in a Facebook post that reports of the fire arrived just after 10 p.m. Tuesday.
The Utah Fire Info Twitter account, operated by the state’s wildfire managers, tweeted the blaze is being fought on the ground by hand crews and fire engines.
