Seminor Fire 50% contained

Firefighters continue to make good progress in containing a wildfire burning north of Seminoe Reservoir in Carbon County. The Seminoe Fire is now 50% contained. The fire has burned about 5 square miles of sagebrush, juniper, ponderosa pine and grass. Seminoe State Park remains open, but there are road closures in the Miracle Mile area north of Seminoe Dam. Fire spokeswoman Lauren McKeever says firefighters made such good progress on the fire that an earlier decision to bring in more experienced firefighters was reversed.
