Two people died in a wildfire in northern California last weekend. About 1,000 other people were unable to return to their homes on Sunday. According to authorities, 132 buildings were destroyed and many households had no electricity.
“There’s no easy way to describe it,” Siskiyou County Sheriff Jeremiah LaRue said at a community meeting Sunday afternoon (local time).
After the death of two people in a forest fire, he called for a minute of silence.
The so-called “mill fire” has been spreading in the rural area since Friday. A fire broke out in the area last weekend. Hundreds of emergency services tried to control the two fires under difficult conditions. Hundreds of homes were threatened by the flames, according to firefighters.
