UPTON, Utah, Sept. 4, 2022 (Gephardt Daily) — A fire that started in a barn and spread to two other outbuildings burned nearly 3 acres Sunday in unincorporated Summit County.

Crews from the Park City, North Summit and South Summit fire districts responded about 4:30 p.m. to reports of a structure fire spreading to brush in Upton, an unincorporated community in Summit County.

The fire had been contained by 7:30 p.m., according to a post on the Park City Fire District Facebook page. No injuries were reported.

All three structures were a total loss, the North Summit Fire District stated on Facebook.

“Hot, dry conditions caused the fire to grow to an estimated 3 acres before it was successfully contained,” the post states.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation, fire officials said.
