Brian Head Fire Threatening Another Resort Community

The Brian Head Fire is threatening another resort community after doubling in size overnight.

Fueled by strong winds yesterday, the fire now covers about 11,000 acres and spans into both Iron and Garfield counties in southern Utah. About 400 homes are threatened near Panguitch Lake, where fire officials have had to evacuate.

Brian Head also remains under evacuation orders. The highway remains closed from Parowan to Cedar Breaks National Monument.
