Too Close for Comfort



These pictures of the Herriman Wildfire were taken from Oliver's bedroom window. When we left our home Sunday evening to visit family in Provo all we saw was a bunch of smoke on the other side of the mountain. However, on our way home we noticed that the fire had crested the mountain and was quickly headed toward town. We were greeted by roadblocks and long lines of traffic as the roads leading to our home were blocked off to aid in the evacuation. Our place was about a mile outside of the evacuation zone so we were never in any real danger, but it was still a bit nerve racking to watch the huge flames decend down the mountain towards us.
