My uncle and his family live about 5 miles from the fire. Fortunately for them, the wind is blowing the fire away from them.

Still....scary stuff. Hope everyone is ok. Sad

There's also been fires in Utah, including in Saratoga Springs, home of Mayor Mia Love (who is running for Congress, but did what any decent person would do and stayed to help her town, rather than going to a GOP big-wig fundraiser for her).

Yes, the Utah wildfires have been terrible too and have caused death, not just home destruction.  A salute to Mayor Love.

And I'm not understanding how these fires have caused deaths.  Why are people not evacuating?

The speed of the wind+lots of combustible dry wood, leaves, etc.+the heat of the air.
