The fire erupted Monday amid triple-digit heat and spread swiftly, killing two people who were found in a vehicle, severely burning another person while destroying seven structures and damaging several others.
The blaze spread over 1.5 square miles since being spotted by a U.S. Forest Service helicopter crew Monday afternoon. It was just 2% contained. The Mill Fire erupted Sept. 2 at the company’s facility in Weed on Interstate 5, about 280 miles northeast of San Francisco.
