Herriman Fire

On Sunday September 19th a huge fire was started at Camp Williams during machine gun practice. It went up one side of the mountain and came down the other into Herriman (the city one block away from us). We had no idea there was a fire until Auntie M called us and asked if we could see the flames from our house. We could, and they were huge. By about ten o'clock p.m. the smell was unbearable and the smoke was thick so we went to stay with my parents. During the course of the fire over 1000 homes were evacuated and three homes were destroyed. Our house was never in any danger, but it was still scary having a fire just five miles from our home.
