Highland, Utah • Mandatory evacuations have been ordered in connection to the Yellow Lake Fire burning in eastern Wasatch County that nearly doubled in size after what officials called a “challenging day” on Friday.
As of Saturday, the human-caused fire has grown to 7,798 acres.
People must evacuate from the western and northern forks of the Duchesne River. Meanwhile, campers in the Grandaddy Lakes area of Ashley National Forest are in ready status and should prepare to evacuate.
A forest closure remains in effect for portions of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache and Ashley National Forests.
