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.
