Cox asks Utahns to ‘please, please, please’ reduce fire risks ahead of Pioneer Day

Published | Video Starts at 03:03

We now know that the fire was human caused. Investigators had a potential lead who started it but have ruled them out. They're asking for the public now to call in with any tips. Air crews at the Forsyth fire were unable to fight the blaze for a period of time because of an unauthorized drone. Wildfire areas are a no drone zone and if a drone is found nearby, all those aircraft are grounded until it is confirmed that the drone is gone. (03:03–03:11)

CLAIM
