A large vegetation fire is currently burning in Washington Terrace, forcing evacuations as homes in the area are threatened, according to officials. Two people were injured during the fire, but no major structural damage was reported.
The Adams Fire started just after 11 a.m. and is estimated to have quickly grown to 75 acres. Its cause has yet to be determined, and an investigation is now underway.
All properties on Adams Avenue on 5600/5700 South to 300 West are under evacuation orders, with a temporary shelter set up at the Washington Terrace Senior Center at 4301 South 300 West for evacuees with no place to go.
The evacuation order is expected to be in place for a few more hours.
A resident and a Weber County Sheriff’s Office deputy were injured during the fire, with the deputy having already been treated and released. One camping trailer was severely damaged by flames, while a home suffered minor damage.
