The Summit County Sheriff's Office tweeted that the Frey Gulch Fire was burning at a shooting range above the county landfill on U.S. 6 near Keystone. The highway is closed for helicopter water drops.

Although the fire is producing a large smoke plume, it does not appear to be threatening any structures at this time. 

The sheriff's office is asking residents in the area not to call 9-1-1 about the fire.
