Summit Creek Fire

Elko County residents might see smoke near Knoll Mountain as a fire burns across the state line in southern Idaho. 

The Summit Fire is located 11 miles southeast of Oakley.

The Forest Service says crews are using air tankers and a Type 1 helicopter to fight the fire.

It started around 2 p.m. Monday and has grown to about 550 acres close to the northeastern border on Nevada.

Cassia County deputies say the Independence Lakes Trailhead was evacuated as a precaution. 

There's no immediate word on how the fire started.Â
