• 'Look out for each other': Mountain lion sighting in Hurricane prompts safety warnings (abc4.com) — A mountain lion was spotted Wednesday night near the Dollar Tree on West State Street in Hurricane, and police are urging residents to bring pets inside and avoid walking alone in dark areas. Wildlife officials say cougar attacks are rare but share practical tips: travel in groups, make noise, appear large, back away slowly, and fight back if attacked. 
• Sheriff's office: 2 injured in off-road vehicle rollover in Sand Mountain dunes area (stgeorgeutah.com) — Hurricane Valley Fire & Rescue crews helped respond after a rented side-by-side rolled over Tuesday afternoon in the Sand Mountain dunes near St. George, injuring two men in their 20s. Both had relatively minor injuries, were brought down to a command post for evaluation, and declined hospital transport, according to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
• WATCH: Bodycam footage shows evacuation of burning apartment building (abc4.com) — Hurricane firefighters were among several departments called early Sunday to a major apartment fire at Bella Vista Apartments in St. George, where 20 units were damaged and dozens displaced. Newly released bodycam video shows officers forcing doors, rescuing a trapped resident by ladder, and eight St. George officers later treated for smoke inhalation while residents escaped without reported injuries.
