Wildfire evacuees from Eureka — some separated from pets — wait for chance to return home

Evacuees from the town of Eureka in Juab County are facing a tough reality: the uncertainty of not knowing when they'll be able to get back into their homes, and some also hoping their four-legged friends will be waiting for them when they come back.

“First in the morning we just see the smoke, you know, and it's over behind the mountains from Eureka, and then getting close to the evening, the flames [were]up on that big beacon hill, and I was getting kind of worried then,” said Dennis Wahlberg, a Eureka resident.
