Utah Wildfire Info said the Jacob City Fire, burning in Soldier Canyon east of Stockton, was growing rapidly due to"erratic" winds. Around 6:45 p.m., it was estimated at 2,100 acres.
Near the scene, multiple residents told FOX 13 News that they were evacuated from their homes. Officials later confirmed that Soldier Canyon and Dry Canyon have been evacuated as a precaution, as well as campers in Middle Canyon.In a Facebook post, the Stockton Police Department asked residents in the town to"refrain from using water if they can help it" because the Jacob City Fire may have damaged the water system.
