“I just come in 10 minutes ago, I come in and said ‘oh my God it’s just unbelievable’,” said owner Theresa Hayes.“I think it is totally gone, because it burned down and the dirt is hot, you can’t step on it’s hot,” added Hayes.Fire crews remain active around the area responding to hot spots as it’s still very windy.
