SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Residents of a remote town in southwestern Utah voluntarily evacuated their homes Thursday ahead of a wildfire that blackened more than 800 acres.
The blaze threatened 20 structures near Motoqua, an unincorporated town about 20 miles northwest of St. George, on the Utah-Nevada border.
The fire had not damaged any buildings, but some residents left their homes voluntarily as the flames approached, said David Boyd, a fire spokesman for the Bureau of Land Management.
