There were highs — two cup finals…

It was 4 p.m. on Saturday at Silverwood Lake, and Mariana Mayorga was at a birthday party in the popular recreational spot with her husband and two children, ages 3 and 6. As party guests swung at a piñata, she looked towards the horizon and noticed a plume of smoke roughly two miles from the campground. “It just kept climbing up that hill,” said Mayorga, 31. “It kept intensifying and the smoke just kept rising.” It wasn’t long before the smoke reached both sides of the lake. Within 10 minutes, Mayorga and her family headed back to their campsite, only…
