BLM guard station burns in Bears Ears
Blaze is the third targeting remote BLM structures in the past year.
The Bureau of Land Management is investigating a suspicious fire that recently damaged a remote guard station in Utah's Bears Ears National Monument.
The incident occurred on Elk Ridge north of the twin Bears Ears Buttes in a spot known as Sweet Alice Spring, where scientists and BLM staff have stayed while conducting field work.
Officials declined to release details while the matter is under investigation. Damage to the cinder-box structure was discovered shortly before Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke arrival in Utah May 7 to tour Bears Ears as part of a review of 27 national monuments.
The fire was the third suspicious incident targeting remote BLM structures in the past year as hostility has mounted toward federal management of Utah's public lands.
