Firefighters walk to a pile burn site in upper Mill Creek Canyon.

Summit County warns residents may see or smell smoke driving over the mountains from a prescribed pile burning in Salt Lake County.

Burns in Mill Creek Canyon are expected to continue through the weekend.

The U.S. Forest Service said the burns are conducted to reduce overgrown vegetation and help protect local communities, infrastructure and natural resources from wildfires.

Fire and county officials ask residents to not report the smoke or flames.
