Fire investigators have removed parts of a power pole as evidence in an ongoing investigation on the cause of a wildfire in Utah according to an Associated Press report.

The pole's cross arm and lightning arrestor are being stored in a locked shed at the request of federal agents, Moon Lake Electric Association staff assistant Diana Rasmussen said.

quot;They asked us as part of the investigation if we would preserve them in the event they need them in the future," Rasmussen told the AP. "But we still don't see any evidence linking us to the cause of the fire."

According to the AP, investigators have declined to discuss a possible cause of the fire, which by Saturday had burned 42,639 acres, or 66.6 square miles. The wildfire is believed to have originated in the same area where the pole is located and weather is not believed to have been a factor, the AP said.

Investigators photographed the pole and met with Moon Lake Electric CEO Grant J. Earl last week. Moon Lake’s insurance company has hired its own investigator, which the company said was typical in cases where there is considerable loss or questions of liability.

The Neola North fire, 100 miles east of Salt Lake City was 55 percent contained Saturday. So far, the cost of fighting the fire is estimated at $4.9 million, the AP reported.
