犹他州一名男子被指控在2025年7月在禁火期间点燃了占地17,700英的鹿溪火灾.
A Utah man was charged with starting the 17,700-acre Deer Creek Fire in July 2025 during a fire ban.
与2025年7月10日在犹他州La Sal附近点燃的Deer Creek火灾有关, Scott Carrier是一名圣胡安县男子,被控犯有多项轻罪,包括轻率焚烧和违反消防限制。
Scott Carrier, a San Juan County man, has been charged with multiple misdemeanors, including reckless burning and violating fire restrictions, in connection with the Deer Creek Fire that ignited on July 10, 2025, near La Sal, Utah.
由人类引起的大火烧毁了17 700多英亩土地,摧毁了12座建筑,促使大约300人撤离,并耗资2 400多万美元加以控制。
The human-caused blaze burned over 17,700 acres, destroyed 12 structures, prompted evacuations of about 300 people, and cost over $24 million to contain.
现场发现的证据包括一个打火机、煤气罐和烧焦材料。
Evidence found at the site included a lighter, gas can, and burned materials.
虽然承运人后来表示遗憾并提出替代原因,但调查人员认为火灾是在限制火灾期间从一个无人看管的烧焦堆开始的。
Though Carrier later expressed regret and suggested alternative causes, investigators believe the fire started from an unattended burn pile during a fire restriction period.
截至8月11日,火灾已完全控制,是犹他州2025年野火季度的第三大火灾.
The fire was fully contained by August 11 and is the third-largest in Utah’s 2025 wildfire season.
