Nightmarish footage shows raging fire tearing through Utah towns

More than 13,000 people have been forced to evacuate 3,100 homes as a raging fire sparked by 'lightning' in Utah spread across 10,000 acres. Lightning was initially reported as the cause of the blaze, dubbed the Knolls Fire, on Sunday night, but according to the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands, the fire is still under investigation. The fire was sparked Sunday evening and due to extremely high winds burned across 2,000 acres. By Monday morning, the Knolls Fire had spread over 10,000 acres, according to the Utah Fire Info Twitter account. Meanwhile, firefighters were battling another blaze on Sunday that was dubbed the Traverse Fire. Officials said illegal fireworks sparked the fire that forced out residents of houses and an apartment building early Sunday. A suspect was cooperating with law enforcement, Utah Fire Info said.
