In a post on the city’s Facebook page posted just after 3 p.m. Wednesday, the city said that an active fire has been reported and that no details are available at this time.

“Please stay clear of the area and keep all roads open for emergency crews,” the post said. “It’s critical that first responders have full access to do their jobs safely and quickly.”

A location was not specified, but heavy smoke could be observed on the mountainside near the city limits from the Standard-Examiner’s headquarters.

We will publish more information as it becomes available.
