Fire continued to threaten the ranching community of Grouse Creek in Box Elder County as two wildfires combined to create a single blaze that has burned more than 100,000 in Utah and Nevada.
The Goose Creek fire, which is believed to have been started by lightning on Thursday southeast of Jackpot, Nev., has combined with the China Jim fire, which began Saturday 13 miles southwest of Grouse Creek. The cause of the China Jim fire is unknown.
