CENTERVILLE -- Fire crews from all over Davis County and the surrounding area were battling a blaze on the mountains east of Centerville on Thursday night.

The call came in at 7:44 p.m. that a brush fire had started on the mountain at the east end of Parrish Lane, and by 9:45 p.m. South Davis Metro Fire Chief Jim Rampton estimated that the fire had consumed 20 to 30 acres of the mountainside. That was later updated to 40 acres.

"There is nothing (no homes) in danger at this point," Rampton said. "We've established a fire break line, and we're trying to keep it above that."
