Wildfire burning 25 miles southwest of St. George

A lightening caused fire burning 25 miles southwest of St. George is expected to be fully contained by the end of the day Monday.

The Bureau of Land Management announced Saturday afternoon that the Frehner Canyon Fire had been 50% contained.

As of Sunday afternoon, the fire was closer to 60% contained and currently sits at 226 acres. According to the Fire, Weather and Avalanche Center, however, the Frehner Canyon Fire has a high-to-extreme chance of growing larger in the next 24 hours due to high temperatures, decreased humidity and increased wind speeds.

The fire has burned over 1500 acres.
