Gusty overnight winds tested newly dug containment lines, but they held against the flames as crews worked to hem in the Bountiful-Summerwood Fire on Thursday.
“Things are looking really good today,” Fire Information Officer Kim Osborn said. “Our crews are continuing work on completing lines around the fire, but the going is slow due to the rugged terrain and really thick brush up there.”
About 70 firefighters, aided by water-bearing helicopters and a fire-retardant laden air tanker, were battling the human-caused, three-day-old blaze.
