Numerous families lost their homes and all of their belongings after a fire ripped through the Pack Creek Mobile Home Park in Grand County on Sunday afternoon.
“Ten [homes] total involved: We lost the six that were totally involved, and there are four that are uninhabitable right now,” Moab Valley Fire Department Chief TJ Brewer said. “[Mobile homes] go quick compared to a stick-built home, just the way they’re built. This one, we encountered a lot of cotton, a lot of cheatgrass.”
“The fuels around there, it just moved quick. It brought it under the houses, the cottonwoods above it started burning on top of the houses," Brewer said."It was just the perfect storm." — 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐞𝐞 June 7, 2022 “It feels like it’s a really bad nightmare,” said Erin Wilson, who had lived in her mobile home in the park since the early 2000s. “That fire hit and it took everything out of our trailer. We lost two bearded dragons, some cats. I mean, we barely got out of there with the clothes on our back.
