Awbrey Butte fire

There's currently a fire on Awbrey Butte... looks like it might have started on a construction site and spread... at one point we could see pretty good sized flames the length of it.

Update, 2pm: Fire looks mostly out now, there's still a little bit of smoke but it's much subsided.

I saw it as I came out of the mall from TJ Max. The flames were high.

Thanks for the update. Better pics then any of the main news sites so far.

My mom's neighborhood was evacuated. She was freaked out. She said that there was no warning - she smelled the smoke, then about ten minutes later, there was a EBS warning on TV (which she had on in another room).

Scary stuff.
