KANOSH, Utah — Some residents of Kanosh in Millard County have been ordered to evacuate their homes after the Widemouth 2 Fire breached a containment line.
Millard County Sheriff Steve O'Camb announced on social media Saturday evening that the fire, now 6,885 acres, jumped a "dozer line."

The Widemouth 2 Fire is 15 percent contained.
