    Alpine Utah Fire July 3, 2012

    By greed480  |  Posted July 3, 2012  |  Alpine, Utah
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     greed480 captured this video on July 3, in Alpine, Utah. He says before this fire, he witnessed another fire in Saratoga Springs, which is just on the other side of the same valley. 'This fire was very similar, but went up much quicker because the mountains are steeper,' he says. 'But I have seen several wildfires growing up since I have lived in the west most of my life.'
    - Jareen, CNN iReport producer

    Wildfire breaks out in the northern end of Utah County. The fire was caused by construction workers and quickly climbed the steep mountains of the Wasatch Range. It is being referred to as the Quail Fire and has prompted the evacuation of 80 homes. One structure has burned which is to be believed a barn. It was started near Lambert Park which contains historical LDS Pioneer structures.
