It's called the Iron Peak Fire. >> Got started this afternoon in the Cottonwood mountain area near Panguitch. At last check, it's burning 400 acres. That's up from 75 Acres. Just a couple hours ago, it's threatening 3 to 5 structures were told crews have already begun fighting this thing from the air.
