Don't know what that will look like later, but at 7:14 local (MDT) it looked like a giant bonfire.

I'm sure they'd say "fully involved". I'd say it's a real pisser.

now a 5 alarm fire and still out of control.
ROFL!
I'm in SLC, you can see the smoke from ten miles away with ease. Looks nasty. When I first saw it while driving home I suspected maybe the Mormons had stumbled upon my stash of scotch and were taking action.
Fire...over on DU, they must be telling each other that the Freepers and/or President Bush must be behind it or at least, knew about it could have prevented it from happening.

We saw the smoke earlier this evening, thanks for the ping, now I know what it was. Wow.
Now a 6 alarm.
ATF is on scene. First mention of terrorism (ELF).
Dumb terrorists. My sister lives in West Jordan right by the lumber store ELF set on fire last month. They think they're being so smart by setting fires that pollute the air much more than the products being sold by these companies. This is a crazy world.

For Immediate Release
The ELF Press Office has been informed of a claim of responsibility in a fire in West Jordan, Utah on June 14th, 2004.
The fire targeted Stock Building Supply and caused $1.5 million in damages.
A communique received by fax by a local news outlet read:
"Stock Building Supply in WJ, Utah was targeted because it has ignored several warnings to repair their forklifts. the forklifts in which they operate every day put out far more pollutants than average disesel engines.
They are destroying the ozone and posing a serious health risk to nearby humans and living animals. if the consequences of early monday morning are what it takes to bring their negligence to the attention of the media and the people of the world, then it is well worth it and we will continue in our mission to stop large companies from destroying the environment.
If you build it we will burn it! stop destroying mother earth."
Graffiti left at the scene as well as the faxed communique are considered a legitimate claim of responsibility by the Earth LIberation Front. This is the fourth action claimed by the ELF since the start of 2004.
The Earth Liberation Front is an international underground organization that uses direct action in the form of economic sabotage to stop the destruction of the natural environment. Since 1997, the ELF in North America has caused over $100 million in damages to entities who profit from the destruction of life and the planet.
The Earth Liberation Front Press Office is an autonomous entity that serves to publicize news and actions of the ELF, as reported through news media or by anonymous communications from the individuals involved in activities.
And south of "?"
But please, SLC is a beautiful city and a technology center and a major transportation hub. Don't treat it like East Overshoe, MA.
Naw, it is really north of PHX and NE of LAS (having experience of travelling both ways - through the AZ. strip as well as on 87 through red rock country). BTW, if you want to see what an artist's conception of the aftermath of a nuclear explosion, try the 87 route sometime. Its miles and miles of miles and miles.
