Salt Lake City ? High temperatures and low humidity prevented firefighters from extinguishing a fire Saturday that threatened at least two dozen homes in a small town in central Utah.

Fire crews were waiting for more firefighters to arrive so they could work to put out the fire rather than just protect cabins, homes and trailers threatened by the 22-square-mile fire about 10 miles west of the town of Indianola.

Temperatures reached nearly 100 degrees, while humidity hovered around 10 percent in many areas where the state’s 10 wildfires were burning.

The blaze began Thursday in a private campground in Salt Creek Canyon, 85 miles south of Salt Lake City. A motel and some vehicles and trailers were burned, the U.S. Forest Service said.

The fire had forced several evacuations and rescues along a 32-mile scenic road in the Uinta National Forest since Thursday.
