War of words over Brian Head wildfire

State representative Mike Noel says environmental groups are to blame for the spread of the massive wildfire in southern Utah. Noel claims the groups stopped the state from felling trees that were killed by a bark beetle infestation and those same trees have caught fire quickly. But Steve Bloch with the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance believes that Noel is just trying to find a scapegoat. (Photo: Brandon Whitworth/Deseret News)
