My daughter lives off the I-15 – Cajalco exit up the hill on Vandagriff Way, bordering on the national forest. She can see the planes flying and see the red sky and it is getting closer and closer but there is no one reporting on posible evacuation of that area. She cannot find a map of the fire showing where it is in relation to where she is and is getting very worried. There are thousands of homes up there and a grade school. How can she find out what she needs to know before it is too late to take action.
