Accident ignites Dry Gulch Fire CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Deputy Craig Rilee conducted the investigation on Eagle Creek Road, and determined that Dennis Nash had been operating the vehicle prior to the crash. Right around this same time, a separate, smaller wildfire was reported and quickly contained near Love Reservoir, and was completely unrelated. Nash had been travel- ing to meet his hunting party that were already camped in the area. Nash was unable to negotiate a curve in the road, struck an embankment and ended up rolling his 2012 Ford F350 pickup. Nash was uninjured as a result of the crash, however, witnesses from a distance saw visible flames rise in the air above the vehicle, and reported one citizen pushing water from a ditch onto his neighbor’s land to keep the start of the fire at bay—at least in that direction. Following the crash, the engine compartment caught fire, which spread and ultimately became the Dry Gulch Fire. Despite widespread rumors to the contrary, Rilee evaluated Nash while talking with him and did not observe any signs of impairment from intoxi- cants. Nash did state he had beer packed with his food supplies that he was taking to hunting camp. The beer and food spilled out of the pickup during the crash. Nash denied consuming any alcohol prior to the crash. Residents around the Pine Valley, and parts of New Bridge and Halfway were quickly under level 2 and 3 evacuation notices as responders went door to door, and trucks along with an aerial assault fought the fire. Highway 86 was closed for a day as the fire leapt the road at the top of the Halfway grade. In the end, there were no injuries and no structures lost. New Bridge and Rich- land were without power and phone service for more than a day. The fire was 18,272 acres and 55 percent contained, at the time of print, and not expected to grow much more. Firefighters have started mopping up hot spots near the fire s perimeter to pre- vent any chance of further spread.
