A fast-moving wildfire in Northern California's Siskiyou County has burned nearly 1,000 acres and destroyed multiple buildings as a heat wave across the state heightened fire dangers.
Suzi Brady, spokesperson with Cal Fire Siskiyou, confirmed the structure losses but was unable to provide details on the number and type of buildings. Flames were seen tearing through buildings, including homes, along Highway 97, according to footage from firefighters, obtained by KRCR, a local TV news station.
The Mill fire has also forced evacuations in Shastina and Edgewood, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Students at Weed High School were evacuated via buses to Mount Shasta High School.
