Campers are being evacuated as a fast-growing fire is threatening structures on Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest land east of Mirror Lake Highway in a remote section of Summit County, state land managers say.

The Beulah Fire has quickly burned 300 to 400 acres, state and federal firefighters reported shortly after 1:30 p.m. The fire had already scorched approximately 15 acres by the time the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands first reported the fire shortly after noon.

The fire started about 3 to 4 miles east of Manorlands, a community near Kamas and Mount Beulah within the High Uintas Wilderness, according to the division. It wasn’t immediately clear what kind of structures were being threatened or how many were being threatened.
