A wildfire that has burned 100 acres near Flaming Gorge Reservoir and forced evacuation of a campground is 0% contained as of Tuesday morning.

The Sunny Cove Fire, in the Ashley National Forest in Daggett County in northeastern Utah, was sparked by a lightning strike on Monday at about 3:30 p.m., according to fire officials.

As a precaution, 60-70 camping trailers were ordered to leave the Mustang Ridge Campground. No injuries have been reported, and no structures have been damaged. Two engines, two helicopters, two hand crews and one bulldozer are battling the blaze, according to Utah Fire Info. Campers and boaters who had to leave vehicles behind at the Mustang Ridge Boat Ramp are asked to call the Daggett County Sheriff’s Office at 435-630-5598 to arrange an escort to retrieve their vehicles.
