Fire on the Mountain


We had a fire start in Castle Valley and burn up on to the mountain this afternoon (maybe last night with the lightning?). It has burned fast and as of about 6:00 it had burned up into the heavy timber of Miners Basin. We evacuated several of our campgrounds and have closed all the access roads into that portion of the Forest. I stole this photo off the blog of a Castle Valley resident.


We just drove up onto Sand Flats to see how much of the mountain had burned. It looks like most of Miners Basin had already burned. We are meeting in the morning to see what the damage is. Hopefully none of our campgrounds, historic cabins or other peoples cabins have burned.
