Herriman Fire
First off, we are all ok. We were not evacuated, but we stayed last night in Highland, trying to avoid getting in emergency crews' way and to stave off smoke inhalation. It was pretty intense watching the evacuation expand and the fire peak over the hill via twitter, youtube, and fox13.
From what I understand, the current (Mon, 10:32 am) situation is:
- The mandatory evacuation is still in place
- The weather conditions have changed, so the city is in no immediate danger
- They hope to contain the fire today
Here's a look at the fire thru the night:
It is a Miracle that only 4 houses burned. A lot of prayers are being answered.
