BOUNTIFUL, Utah, Aug.30, 2019 (Gephardt Daily) — Dozens of firefighters from multiple agencies are battling a massive wildfire which broke out in the hills above northeast Bountiful early Friday morning.
At least eight homes were burned, and 400 others evacuated in the fast-moving blaze, which was first reported burning about 1 a.m. near the Bountiful B, not far from the Bountiful Temple. Three of the homes were destroyed.
The hellish flames, which were visible for miles, mesmerized thousands of residents who watched the fire as it advanced on homes near Ridgeline Circle and Sunrise Circle.
Monico Garza, a multiple-media journalist for Gephardt Daily, was among the first reporter/photographers on the scene and posted these dramatic images.
