The Trail Mountain Fire was a wildfire burning in Manti-La Sal National Forest fifteen miles northwest of Orangeville, Utah in the United States.
The fire was started on June 6, 2018, after the Trail Mountain prescribed burn escaped due to high winds.
By June 10, high wind gusts of 55 miles per hour caused the fire to grow into Meetinghouse Canyon.
[8] The northern part of the fire remained uncontained while crews focused on scattering cut vegetation, stabilizing soils, installing water bars to manage water and sediment, and removing hazardous, fire-weakened trees along roads in contained areas.
