Brian Head Fire Swells By 1,000 AcresÂ

(Brian Head, UT)  –  The Brian Head Fire continues to grow, albeit at a slower pace.  Fire crews reported yesterday the fire had consumed just over 68-thousand-400 acres, up about a thousand acres from Wednesday.  The fire is currently sitting at about 75-percent containment and officials still expect to have it completely contained by next weekend.  The fire was started nearly three weeks ago by someone using a weed torch; still no word if charges will be filed against that person.  Thirteen homes have been destroyed, but no one has been hurt. Â
