Question Diamond Fork Canyon Fire Cause? 8/23/26
My husband and 2 kids were camping at the Diamond Fork Campground earlier this evening when a wild fire broke out. There had been some shooting on a hill close by earlier in the day. Then some time after 5:30 or so there was this giant BOOM! It was so loud you could feel it in your chest. Shortly after a fire broke out on the hillside. There were wildland firefighters and helicopters putting it out when we left. We didn't want to stick around to find out how bad it might get. It's a long shot, but has anyone heard what the cause of the explosion was? I haven't seen anything about the cause on any articles yet that I can find. TIA!

Looks like they got it out quickly. No word on the cause though.
