Gann Fire Body Found in Burned Home | Sacramento News
Description
A body was found in a home destroyed by the Gann Fire in Calaveras County, as authorities continue assessing wildfire damage that’s already claimed seven buildings near New Hogan Lake. One firefighter was injured in a bulldozer accident, but no other injuries have been reported. Evacuation orders remain active for areas east of the lake, with shelters open in Valley Springs and Avery—and the county fairgrounds housing displaced livestock. The fire, which began Monday evening near Hogan Dam, has scorched over 10,373 acres and is 26% contained. Investigators now point to equipment-related ignition, arresting 65-year-old Herbert Wayne Smith on suspicion of recklessly starting the blaze by using spark-producing machinery without proper safety compliance.
