Wildfire west of prison likely started by lightning
WildfireIn simple terms, a radio operator describes a large wildfire west of a prison with heavy smoke, likely started by lightning. A thunderstorm cell appears and seems to put the main fire out, but there may be two more fires nearby. The speaker stays near Missile Road and I-44, talks with county staff, and considers moving back to stay safe from the storm.
