Herriman Fire Fire Fighters Suppress Huge Tragedy

Fire starting at Fort Williams erupts into a large inferno destroying 10,000 acres of property, putting hundreds of lives at risk. The fire started when sparks from a machine gun ignited the dry brush. Camp Williams maintains that everything was done to control the fire, however they did not have the manpower or the resources to stop the fire from spreading. I am hopeful that there was no negligence or wrong doing that resulted in this tragedy.

Above all, it is very heart wrenching to hear that three homes were lost to the flames leaving some with almost nothing left. However, in comparison to what could have potentially happened, things went better that authorities could have hoped for. At this point no reported lives were lost, and damage was far under what was estimated. We can all thank our heroic fire fighters and other officials for being there when they are needed most. They risk everything they have for complete strangers and they deserve both our respect and appreciation. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families at this time.
