Beaver County wildfire growing
The Cougar Fire that started in Beaver County Sunday night is still growing.

They suspect it was human caused but haven't pinpointed exactly how.
Crews have contained the blaze by about 45-percent as of yesterday afternoon.
The Cougar Fire has burned several habitats west of Cedar City, but so far, there have been no injuries, evacuations or structures threatened.
