ST. GEORGE — A prefabricated home was destroyed in what started as a brush fire in Hamilton Fort Sunday afternoon.

Cedar City Fire responded to the fire at approximately 2:30 p.m. in the unincorporated Hamilton Fort area south of Cedar City.

Firefighters initially responded to the blaze with equipment suited for a brush fire, Fire Chief Mike Phillips said.

After high winds blew the flames into the house, additional crews brought in three engines, a ladder truck and rescue equipment.

The flames spread to two nearby sheds and an RV parked near the property.

“No one was hurt,” Phillips said, “and the occupant and her daughter got out of the house.”
