Search and rescue crews worked to evacuate the West Fork of the Duchesne drainage on Tuesday evening due to the danger of the Yellow Lake Fire. Utah Fire Info reports that the Yellow Lake Fire had increased activity on Tuesday. “The closure has been extended north of the West Fork of the Duchesne Ridge, at North Mill Hollow Road on the west side and Highway 35 on the east side,” shares Utah Fire Info. “The fire is burning slowly down the south face of Highway 35 on the northern perimeter. The western edge saw minimal growth, as crews continue to enhance fuel breaks. The eastern side is mostly holding at the gas pipeline with a few minor spots crews have been able to catch thus far.” There are 330 personnel working the Yellow Lake Fire. It remains zero percent contained.
