A fire chief on the scene reported the blaze was five acres and growing, Mountain News Net reported. Highway 83 was closed at Jones Road, they said.

7News has a crew en route to the fire.

The area is under a Red Flag Warning, which means conditions are such that fires can spread rapidly, due to low humidities and high winds.
