Reclaiming What the Cottonwood Fire Took from You in Beaver, Beaver County, Utah Right now, you are watching the smoke rise over the Tushar Mountains, or perhaps you are standing in an evacuation center in Piute County, waiting for news about your home in Merchant Valley or your condo at Eagle Point Resort. The loss of a home, a business, or a lifetime of mountain memories is not just a financial blow; it is a profound crisis of safety and stability. We represent people in Beaver, Beaver County, Utah whose lives have been upended by the most destructive fire in the state’s history. While the forest service works on containment, we work on accountability. The Cottonwood Fire, which has already consumed more than 59,000 acres, was not an inevitable “act of God.” In many cases, these record-breaking disasters are the result of human choices—specifically the choices of utility companies that fail to manage the corridors where high-voltage lines meet dry timber. If you have lost your primary residence, a seasonal cabin in HiLo Estates, or if your business at Eagle Point Resort is facing an indefinite closure, you are likely being approached by insurance adjusters. Before you sign any document…

The Cottonwood Fire has moved through the Tushar Mountains with a violence that few could have predicted, burning over 71,000 acres and tearing through the heart of the Eagle Point Resort community.

The Current State of the Cottonwood Fire and Its Impact on Beaver County We know the feeling of standing on a mountain road, looking at a plume of smoke, and wondering if your life’s work is still standing. Right now, families and business owners in Beaver, Utah, are facing that exact crisis. The Cottonwood Fire has torn through the Tushar Mountains, reaching elevations over 10,000 feet and fueled by dense sub-alpine fir and aspen. While there is a sense of relief that the Skyline Lodge at Eagle Point Resort remains standing, the reality is that the resort has already confirmed the loss of multiple commercial buildings. For property owners along SR-153 and near the resort, the situation is evolving. With 0% containment at the time of the latest reports and “particularly dangerous situation” red flag warnings in effect, the damage to residential real estate and high-value mountain condos is still being tallied. We are not just talking about charred timber; we are talking about the destruction of homes, the displacement of local residents, and the economic gutting of a community that relies on the ski industry. The moment the smoke clears, the finger-pointing begins. The insurance companies will call this…

As the Cottonwood Fire continues to tear through the sub-alpine fir and aspen forests of Beaver County, families and property owners are watching years of history and investment turn to ash.

If you are standing on your property in Beaver, looking at what remains of a home, a condo, or a business, the weight of the moment is overwhelming.

Your Property in the Tushar Mountains and the Cottonwood Fire You are watching the heart of your community, and perhaps your single largest investment, go up in smoke. As the Cottonwood Fire tears through nearly 60,000 acres east of Beaver, the destruction of the Canyonside Lower Lodge and several condominiums at Eagle Point Resort is not just a headline to you—it is a life-altering crisis. In the wake of this disaster, you are likely being told that this was a “wildfire,” as if it were an unavoidable act of nature. Our trial team sees this differently. This fire was human-caused. It ignited near Mile Marker 5 on State Route 153, and in a high-fire-risk environment like the Fishlake National Forest, “human-caused” is often another name for negligence. Whether the ignition was sparked by a utility company’s failure to maintain its right-of-way, a contractor’s equipment, or a mismanaged campfire, someone is responsible for the wall of fire that breached the resort. When the smoke clears, you will face an insurance industry that is already setting its reserves. They are hoping you treat this as a natural disaster so they can limit your payout to the bare minimum of your policy. We…

Beaver, Beaver County, Utah Property Damage: Protecting Your Rights After the Cottonwood Fire If you are standing on the ash of what used to be your home or your business in Beaver, you aren’t looking for a news update. You are looking for a way back. As we write this, the Cottonwood Fire has already consumed nearly 60,000 acres in the Tushar Mountains, tearing through the Eagle Point Resort and leaving a trail of structural destruction that will take years to rebuild. When a wildfire is categorized as “human-caused” by the U.S. Forest Service or the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands (FFSL), it stops being a natural disaster and starts being a legal event. In Utah, the law provides a path for victims to hold the at-fault parties responsible for the destruction of private property and the loss of livelihoods. Our firm works as a trial team that takes Utah cases, and we know that the first 72 hours after a fire direct-hit are the most critical for your recovery. While the fire behavior remains active and containment lines are still being built, the entities responsible for this ignition are already beginning their defense. You need a…

If Someone You Love Was Killed Inside a Salt Lake City Hotel, This Page Was Written for the Next Sixty Minutes of Your Life We are sorry. There is no gentle way to open this. A family in Utah is right now sitting with a phone in their hand, or staring at a wall, or driving to identify someone they never expected to lose. The official story is one line on a screen: “one person is dead after a shooting at a hotel in Salt Lake City.” That line does not describe the phone call that came in the middle of the night, the empty chair at the table tonight, or the question that will not leave: how was this allowed to happen? You are not asking a rhetorical question. You are asking the legal system to answer a factual one. And under Utah law, the answer frequently turns out to be that the hotel itself had a duty, that the duty was breached, and that the breach is what put your loved one in the path of violence. A hotel is not a public street. It is a private business that invited your family in, took its money, and…
