Forest Fire Threatens Timber Town
A massive forest fire roared through Northern California and Oregon, threatening Yreka and tens of thousands of acres of timberland. Firefighters, including 400 from the Presidio, battled the blaze as smoke filled skies and embers rained down, with forecasts predicting more hot, windy weather ahead. In Oregon, fires burned across national forests near Medford and Ochoco, while Sequoia National Forest reported progress on a 15,000-acre blaze near Grant Grove. A separate road accident in Cumberland led to a manslaughter charge against Lundy Kinser in Ottawa for the Aug. 31 deaths of Charles Keech Sr. and his 2-year-old son.
