The South Canyon Fire of 1994 actually happened on the lower slopes of Storm King mountain. South Canyon is the drainage on the south side of Colorado River. The original person that called in the fire to the Grand Junction Air Center Dispatch (USFS & BLM) was not sure what the hillside on the north side of the river was, but the South Canyon was "geographically" close, so they gave it that name. Once a fire is named and resources start getting ordered and assigned, the name cannot be changed. Eventually the fire name would be ammended to the South Canyon Fire on Storm King Mountain.
