Authorities have discovered two bodies in a burned vehicle in the path of a raging Mckinney Fire that has destroyed much of the small community of Klamath River, charred 52,498 acres and had zero percent containment.
YREKA —Authorities have discovered two bodies in a burned vehicle in the path of a raging Mckinney Fire that has destroyed much of the small community of Klamath River, charred 55,500 acres and had zero percent containment.
Two bodies were found Sunday inside the charred vehicle located in a residential driveway near the remote community of Klamath River, the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office said in a statement Monday. The victims were not immediately identified. Larry Castle and his wife, Nancy, were among about 2,000 residents of the Yreka area under evacuation orders. They left Saturday with some of their prized possessions, including Larry's motorcycle, and took their dogs to stay with their daughter near Mount Shasta.
A second, smaller fire just to the west that was sparked by dry lightning Saturday threatened the tiny town of Seiad. About 400 structures were under threat from the two California fires. Authorities have not confirmed the extent of the damage yet, saying assessments would begin when it was safe to reach the area.
