Utah locals have taken to social media to document the Pole Creek and Bald Mountain wildfires. Firefighters and public safety crews are working to contain the fires, which still cover about 80,000 acres throughout central Utah, according to inciweb.nwcg.gov.

Some pictures taken by my dad tonight of the #PoleCreekfire
I’m still at a loss for words. These mountains, forests, canyons…they were my home. My view out my front door every day for 13 years. It’s the hardest thing to watch my home in flames and I am at a loss.
