Two people have died in the Northern California 'Mill Fire' and about 1,000 people are still under evacuation orders, officials say.
WEED, Calif. — Two people have died in a blaze that ripped through a Northern California town, said Siskiyou County Sheriff Jeremiah LaRue.
“It’s eerily quiet,” said Susan Tavalero, a city councilor who was driving to a meeting with fire officials. Weed, home to fewer than 3,000 people about 280 miles northeast of San Francisco, has long been seen by passersby as a whimsical spot to stop along Interstate 5. But the town, nestled in the shadow of Mount Shasta, is no stranger to wildfires.
Dominique Mathes, 37, said he’s had some close calls with wildfires since he has lived in Weed. Though fire dangers are becoming more frequent, he’s not interested in leaving.
