“About 40 minutes after the initial report of the fire, I was headed southbound on the I-15, and at the last minute, got off the freeway and took the old highway 395 in hopes of getting close enough to the fire to get some pictures or a timelapse,” the uploader told Storyful. “As the sun backlit the smoke and created a gold light everywhere that I could see, I watched this fire until it seemed contained before continuing on home.” Credit: Isaac Gibbs via Storyful
