Some evacuations have been lifted, but the Middle Canyon fire continues to burn out of control in Tooele County on Friday morning.
Crews from the North Tooele Fire District arrived on the scene shortly after 9 p.m. on Thursday to discover a 2-3 acre blaze that shifting winds quickly spread; by Friday morning, the fire had burned more than 100 acres.
"While there was no imminent threat to homes, there were several that were evacuated as a precaution," the North Tooele Fire District posted on Facebook. Residents on Grimm Hill Road were allowed to return to their homes shortly after 3 a.
