Overview
- Fire officials estimated the blaze at about 450 acres Friday evening along the Right Fork of Hobble Creek Canyon east of Springville.
- Utah County previously ordered evacuations from Jolley's Ranch to Springville Crossing in the Right Fork, while areas along the Left Fork were placed in a Ready status without an evacuation order.
- Gusty conditions grounded lighter aircraft early Friday afternoon before flights resumed, and winds pushed flames northeast away from homes on the Left Fork side.
- A multi-agency force from Utah County Fire, Utah Forestry Fire & State Lands, and the U.S. Forest Service is engaged, with helicopters dipping water at Jolley's Ranch and a Type 3 incident team coordinating operations.
- Containment was not provided in the latest update after an earlier 0% figure, and crews plan overnight monitoring with limited line work in steep terrain as updated mapping may refine acreage.
