Fire information

Best we can tell it is being called the "Machine Gun Fire." Aprox. 300 acres or more burning. It is difficult to get an accurate estimate of the size, it is expected to be much larger.

Over a thousand homes are under mandatory evacuation in Herriman. There are reports that some homes have caught fire.

Please stay away from the area! The UFA is having a hard time keeping up with what is going on, and they don't have time to deal with the curious public. Don't become part of the problem.
