Spring Lake Fire (South Utah county)

So I am sure that you guys here in utah have heard of the spring lake fire that started yesterday. Well that is just south of my house, it was quite interesting to watch yesterday. All the plans and helicopters droping water and retardant on it. Well that was until the wind started blowing to the North. Then things started to get really interesting. At about 11 pm the fire / police department started going around the neighbor hood just to the south of us and on the loud speakers (bull horns) they were telling people to gather there belongings and that they needed to evacuate.

That fire was moving and fast. A police officer cam by our house at about 11:30 pm and told us that we were to be on alert and that if it came any closer or jumped the road into the hollow near our house then we would be evacuating as well. What?

What in the world do you even grab for something like that. I put our important documents in a bag with some clothes, and we just had to wait it out. There were a few housese that I thought for sure were going to fall victim to the fire, but the fire fighters did an amazing job and saved them. =D> Them guys sure did earn there keep last night.

Well tonight the choppers were going full boar. I was standing in my kitchen and heard one fly over and then it sounded like it was right on top of us just hoovering. I ran out side and the thing was across the street filling his tank in the retention pond right next to the house. Talk about cool. So us and about 20 of the other neighbors sat on the lawn and watched as they went back and fourth filling and dumping filling and dumping. Thought you guys might like to see some photos of the events. Enjoy.
