There are half a dozen fires currently burning in Utah, and the Cottonwood Fire is one of the two causing the most concern for authorities.
The fire has prompted mandatory evacuations in Beaver County and court operations in two counties temporarily shut down after they lost electrical power due to the fire.
A small local ski area was also burned down.
Firefighters are working to contain the fires, but Utah's rough, dry weather has made that difficult.
More than 135,000 acres have burned across Utah this year, according to state officials.
