The Silver King Fire, which began on Friday, is now within a few miles of the town of Marysvale.
The Silver King Fire in south-central Utah reached close to 1,200 acres Saturday afternoon, according to Marysvale Fire Chief Jon Christensen.The wildfire, which began on Friday and is believed to have been sparked by lightning, seemed to be spreading rapidly, now within 4 miles of the town limits of Marysvale .
“We’re hoping the wind hits the fire in the wrong direction and not headed towards Marysvale,” Christensen said. While houses are safely distanced away from the town limits, the chief emphasized the potential threat the fire would pose to the town’s watershed. “We would have problems with our water supply,” Christensen said. “So that’s kind of my first concern is that it doesn’t get in there.” The Silver King Fire near Marysvale, Utah is reportedly at nearly 1,000 acres as of Saturday morning. A red flag warning has been issued, as dry and windy weather conditions hold high potential to intensify the fire. And the upcoming wind forecast does not bear good news for the town of Marysvale, either. “The wind is coming from the northwest direction, which is less than ideal,” Sam Webber, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said. On a flat terrain, the winds would push the fires Southeast and and toward Marysvale. According to the NWS forecast, the winds from the Northwest are expected to persist until at least Sunday, and may start to lighten up by Monday. “There’s currently one crew and then four engines on it with also miscellaneous overhead deployed at the scene to combat the fire,” said Kylee Stott, a public information officer with Utah Forestry, Fire and State Lands.Here’s what each Utah university has closed with the state’s anti-DEI pushTribune editorial: Supreme Court ruling on homelessness should not tempt Utah to take the easy, and wrong, way out
