Homes burn in Sanpete County wildfire, hundreds evacuated

Hundreds of people were forced to evacuate Monday in Sanpete County, where a wildfire burned several homes.

“Everything we've ever grown up with is burning. We've grown up here all of our lives and to see it burn like this is really heartbreaking,” resident Jessica Arnoldson told Fox13. Arnoldson lives a quarter mile from the fire.

Several communities are evacuating and even more are on standby, and the flames appeared to have torn through several structures Monday evening.

“They got a whole bunch of homes they've already burned up, a couple of them up there on the hill,” Ferre told Fox13.
