Fire Breaks Out in Sanpete

About 5:00 PM Mike was driving north from Ephraim and saw a fire to the NW that looked like it covered about 200 yards.  It is now 9:50 and it has spread clear along the crest of the hill and is moving down a canyon.  We are presently in no danger but much of the land belongs to good friends of ours and they have sheep up there.  Here are some shots that we have taken in the last hour.





Last night there were nearly 9,000 people who had to leave their homes near Saratoga Springs and  the smoke was thick in the air when I went to the airport to get Isaac yet I saw fireworks stands being set up in Provo.  You have to wonder what is in people's minds. $$$$$
