The Boles fire that swept through the the Siskiyou County town of Weed on Monday left a swath of devastation through this community of 3,ooo that sits in the shadow of Mount Shasta.
Officials say at least 150 buildings were damaged or destroyed: homes, commercial structures, even two churches. And while much of the town remains undamaged, entire neighborhoods were reduced to charred rubble and many residents lost everything they owned.
On Tuesday afternoon, with the ashes still warm, JPR's Eric Teel and Ashland photographer Dominic Barth went for a first-hand view of the impact.
This is Weed as they found it.
