The Coal Hollow Fire, already covering about 18,000 acres and blowing smoke into Utah’s second-most populated county, is again threatening one of the state’s biggest east-west corridors.
The blaze moved overnight and on Saturday approached U.S. Highway 6. Leann Fox, a spokeswoman for the firefighting team, said the flames are nearing an area called Knoll Hollow — about 20 miles east of the town of Spanish Fork. Firefighters are working to contain or repel the fire.
