WASHINGTON COUNTY, Utah, June 3, 2026 (Gephardt Daily) — Just after 9 a.m. Tuesday, Hurricane Valley Fire & Rescue crews were dispatched to a reported brush fire near Blue Springs Reservoir on Kolob Mountain.
Upon arrival, crews located a smoldering fire that was not actively spreading. The burned area was estimated at approximately 20 feet by 100 feet and was located adjacent to a propane tank.
Firefighters quickly extinguished all remaining hot spots and secured the area.
The company responsible for the propane tank was contacted to evaluate the tank for any potential damage and determine its continued serviceability.
Additional resources from Color Country, including air resources, were initially dispatched due to the location and potential fire behavior.
However, those resources were canceled after crews completed a scene size-up and determined the fire was contained.
