The East Canyon Fire burning in neighboring Morgan County grew to over 800 acres overnight and is currently 0% contained, according to Utah Wildfire. The East Canyon Fire was started near East Canyon State Park in Morgan County midday Tuesday. Utah Wildfire announced late Tuesday that an investigation has determined the fire was human caused. A piece of heavy equipment is suspected to have struck a rock and ignited nearby vegetation. Summit County Fire Warden Bryce Boyer told KPCW North Summit Fire District crews were on scene Tuesday to provide logistical and operational support. He said local crews will be back in Summit County on Wednesday due to the ongoing red flag warning throughout the region, but are on standby to return to Morgan County if the situation changes.
