Chain Saw Fire Kills in California | San Francisco News
Description
A wildfire in Calaveras County, California, destroyed a home and claimed a life — investigators suspect a chainsaw sparked the blaze. Sixty-five-year-old Herbert Wayne Smith, arrested for reckless equipment use, says he was cutting scrap wood when it ignited and expressed deep regret. Prosecutors now decide if charges will follow. Meanwhile, three major fires rage near Spokane, Washington, having already razed 800 buildings — though no fatalities have been reported, firefighters are making progress thanks to cooler weather.
