KANE COUNTY, Utah — A wildfire broke out near the border of Utah and Arizona Monday afternoon, and it is impacting residents and drivers traveling through the area."Vehicle lost a tire or lost something off of the car, sparked the fire and got it going," explained Alan Alldredge with the Kane County Sheriff's Office."And then with the high winds that we've had it pushed it pretty quick.
Officials said there were structures threatened, but no evacuations. The fire burned multiple power poles, and there have been some power outages in Kanab as a result. As the fire impacted Utah and Arizona residents, multiple agencies, including Kanab City Fire, Fredonia fire crews, the BLM National Park Service, Forest Service and Kane County teams responded to try and efficiently contain the blaze.
