FLAMING GORGE >>ALL NEW TONIGHT. THE BOULDER CREEK FIRE MORE THAN DOUBLES IN SIZE. STILL OUT OF CONTROL. IT BROKE OUT YESTERDAY. NOW 2300 ACRES IN SIZE THANKS FOR JOINING US FOR TWO NEWS AT FIVE. WE ARE ON LATE BECAUSE OF THE FOOTBALL GAME. I'M MALLORY MOORE. >>I'M BRIAN MULLAHY, AND THE FIRE HAS BURNED MORE THAN 2300 ACRES NEAR THE TULA AND JOAB COUNTY LINE. THAT'S JUST OFF STATE ROUTE 36. EVACUATIONS WERE ORDERED, BUT THEY HAVE NOW BEEN LIFTED. THANKFULLY CHRISTIANS TO LIVE NEAR THE LOCATION NOW CHRISTIAN >>YEAH. THAT'S RIGHT. NOW WE'RE ON THAT COUNTY LINE BETWEEN TOOELE AND JOAB COUNTY. AND FROM WHERE I'M STANDING, YOU CAN'T SEE ANY OF THAT FIRE ACTIVITY? NO FLAMES, NO SMOKE. AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE LOW CELL SIGNAL IN THE AREA BUT IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR SCREENS, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THAT FIRE AND SOME OF THAT DAMAGE THE CHARRED VEGETATION. NOW, ACCORDING TO BRIAN TRICK WITH THE NORTHERN UTAH FIRE TEAM ON SATURDAY VISIBILITY WAS AN ISSUE DUE TO THE WIND AND DUST. FIREFIGHTERS HAD A TOUGH TIME LOCATING THE FIRE PERIMETER FOR THE BOLTER FIRE, BUT TODAY IS A DIFFERENT STORY. TRICK SAYS WITH LESS INTENSE WINDS LOWER TEMPERATURES, AND HIGHER HUMIDITY TODAY'S CONDITIONS ARE BETTER. THERE WERE ROUGHLY 100 FIREFIGHTERS ON SCENE >>WE'RE LOOKING REALLY GOOD. SO OBVIOUSLY THE WIND IS BEHAVING TODAY. THE FORECAST IS VERY FAVORABLE SO WINDS OF ABOUT 10 TO 14 SUSTAINED 20 MILE PER HOUR GUSTS. MUCH LESS THAN YESTERDAY. TEMPERATURES ARE ABOUT 10 TO 15 DEGREES COOLER THAN THAN YESTERDAY AND EVEN COOLER THAN AVERAGE. AND SAME THING WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITY. SO ALL THOSE THINGS COMBINED DEFINITELY MAKES CONDITIONS MUCH MORE FAVORABLE FOR RESOURCES TO ENGAGE >>NOW TRICK ADDS, IF THESE CONDITIONS STAY, THIS WAY, FIREFIGHTERS WILL BE ABLE TO SECURE THAT PERIMETER AND
