As many as 40 buildings burned, many of them houses, in the small town of Carbon. One of the homes destroyed belongs to Ben and Ronda Trent, which was reduced to smoldering ash surrounded by a concrete foundation.
The Trents said their two teenagers escaped the house before high winds carried the flames up to the building, but that at least one of the family pets did not escape because of how quickly the fire was approaching.
