A large fire has forced evacuations in parts of Bountiful and Centerville in Utah early Friday morning, destroying homes and displacing hundreds of people. - KSL5TV
The cause of the fire, which is being called the Gun Range Fire, is unknown, but it led to evacuations in the northeast portions of Bountiful and Centerville.
Between 300 and 400 homes were under mandatory evacuation, with eight homes directly impacted by the fire, Edwards said. Three homes were destroyed, and initial wind gusts as high as 30 mph aided the fire's early march toward residential areas. Road closures were set up at 900 East, 400 North and northeast of Bountiful, Edwards said. The fire shifted to moving northward and slightly west, he said, but firefighters established a line in the east hills to protect several homes.Photos and videos sent to KSL.com from readers showed firefighters responding to the fire in the hills above Bountiful. High-velocity winds in the area made fighting the fire difficult in the early hours of Friday morning, according to witnesses.
The fire has not affected schools in the Davis School District and classes will be held as usual Friday morning, according tofrom the district. However, school buses will not pick up students from the area closed to traffic between 400 North to 1600 North and from 900 East up the mountainside.
