Fire

Here are a couple of pics of the Herriman fire from our house. We had a pretty stressful Sunday night but luckily the wind turned about 4 am so we didn't have to evacuate. It's only 20% contained as of today.

Between 1-2 AM the fire started to drop below where we could see. That's when it got a little more nerve-wracking.

The view today.

The mountains are all black. The fire is still burning but it's in an area we can't see from the house. The lower mountain is the one that was on fire in the pics above. When we got home Sunday afternoon (around 6:30) the fire was barely on the ridge of the larger mountain. We were having winds around 50mph and the fire just took off. Amazingly only 4 houses were destroyed. Firefighters are amazing!
