More than 1,300 residents are forced to evacuate their homes as a fire rages in northern Utah .

Local media is reporting that flames have burned approximately 1,600 acres of grasslands.

The fire was started by target-shooters Thursday.

Firefighters are using water-bearing helicopters and a fire-retardant dumping air tanker to fight the blaze.

So far, no structural damage or injuries have been reported.
