The Francis Fire, which burned more than 350 acres and prompted evacuations in Fruit Heights on Monday, is 68% contained, state fire officials said Wednesday night.
Tuesday rains slowed the burn, which may have been ignited by lightning a week ago before high winds caused it to spread quickly.
Several trails around the area of the fire, including a segment of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail between Bair Canyon and Adam’s Canyon remain closed.
