“When we first woke up, there were huge flames. All the trees in the foothills right in front of us are gone, completely.”-Dawn Green, resident of East Barber Drive to KTVB

“I just heard two or three huge explosions and I’m seeing big, big billowing black smoke going into the air! I’ve seen fire crews stage on top of Table Rock for a long time, and right now that fire is moving up the hill toward Table Rock, also moving down toward the city as well.”-Carolyn Holly, former KTVB anchor who lives in the area

Reports that the Wild Horse ranch is on fire.  At least one home completely engulfed in flames, four ‘structures’ on fire. Estimated 324 hectares (800 acres) burned in the past three hours.  U.S. Bureau of Land Management says the flames are moving eastward away from homes.

Aryssa May Hutchins reports that fire fighters are defending the lighted Table Rock Cross statue.  More dry lighting strikes.
