Crews were making good progress Monday closing fire lines around two blazes near Wasatch County’s Strawberry Reservoir.
Fire Information Officer Michael Erickson said that firefighters had gained the upper hand overnight as the flames “fizzled out and settled down.”
However, estimates for when the fires would be completely doused were not immediately available Monday.
The fires, believed human-caused, on Sunday and brought temporary evacuations of about two-dozen, mostly cabin residents in the Soldier Creek Estates development, as well as several hunters’ campsites.
No injuries or property losses were reported from the two main blazes, dubbed the Trout Creek and Soldier Creek fires.
