A fast-moving wildfire, the Iron Fire, has forced the evacuation of Eureka, Utah, with over 1,000 residents ordered to leave as the blaze scorched more than 13,000 acres in under 24 hours. Human-caused and under investigation, the fire's rapid expansion led to highway closures and the establishment of evacuation centers. Meanwhile, another wildfire, the Hastings Fire, also grew significantly.

Dense smoke from the Iron Fire has been visible across northern Utah, including parts of the Wasatch Front, Juab County and Tooele County.
