SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A third fire erupted near the Northern California city of Weed Monday, forcing authorities to order evacuations near the Weed Golf Club.
Cal Fire officials said a 2-acre blaze called the Edgewood fire was burning near Edgewood Road near the golf course and ordered residents of zones SIS-5212-A and SIS-5212-B to evacuate.
The fire was burning in timber and brush and its forward progress had been stopped, Cal Fire said, but it was the latest challenge for the Siskiyou County community where two people died Friday in the Mill fire.
