Fire line of Knolls Fire Saratoga Springs, UT

28 June 2020

Yes, I’m ok. Our entire Stake was evacuated at 5pm. I know what it feels like to have to grab a few things and go. Redwood was bumper to bumper and crawling at a snails pace as people fled. My friends, neighbors, and Church family. I’ll not soon forget the looks on their faces as I we passed each other leaving. Thank you to our first responders, POLICE, Saratoga City officials, all the fire fighters from Utah County, Saratoga Springs, Draper, Bluffdale, Cedar Fort, etc. The air support had to be suspended at 4pm because the wind was gusting up to 50 mph. Hopefully the planes and helicopters are able to work today. Anyway, thank you for asking about me. I’m with my sweet Cassi and Troy. But had too many offers to mention. God bless our community. If I loved it before, I certainly love it more now.

A brush fire on Traverse Mountain caused by fireworks prompted evacuations of residents in Draper and Lehi overnight Sunday.

Thank you so much to our Fire Fighters and Police Departments. We needed you...and you were there. I'll never forget experiencing the wind and gusts, and then seeing a fire fighter with what seemed like a tiny hose with such a small amount of water compared to the surge of fire that was headed his way. And yet, he stood his ground in that fury placing himself between the fire and someone's home.
