"Also faintly smelled smoke, the power flickered and I heard some yelling outside the room so I went to check. I saw the entire horizon of the mountains on fire and the wind was pumping from that direction.

"I sprinted back to the room and grabbed my 1-year-old from his crib."

Silverado wrote on Twitter: "Silverado Resort is currently closed in response to wildfires in the local area. Guests & staff have been safely evacuated at this time."
