This summer marks three years since the Boles Fire tore through the north end of Weed, destroying 145 homes and several other buildings, including the library.

The city is recovering, though slowly. 

Homes are being built to replace the ones lost in the fire, but there's a long road ahead in the rebuilding process.  We get an update on the process and the overall health of the people affected, from Audra (Gibson) Beylik of the Long Term Recovery Group.
