Driven by strong winds and dry vegetation, the fire is pushing toward the town of Eureka in the East Tintic Mountains and is threatening numerous structures. Officials confirmed the fire is human-caused but have not released further details. The Iron Fire is the largest of 11 active wildfires statewide.
