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.
“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.” 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.
