A wildfire burning in the Sheep Creek area of Spanish Fork Canyon grew 2,000 acres on Friday, and officials called in 105 more firefighters to help Saturday when the blaze nearly doubled.

The fire burned ”significantly” Friday afternoon as it moved into an area with thick timber, growing Friday morning’s estimate of 1,700 acres to 3,700 acres on Saturday afternoon, U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Loyal Clark said.
