He had 10 minutes to flee the Salt fire. His home is gone
Print When Ethan Junkersfeld evacuated his Lakehead home Wednesday afternoon, he never thought it would be the last time he saw it intact. The Salt fire in Shasta County had just ignited along Interstate 5, sparked by a vehicle that sent flammable material into dry brush, according to authorities. A friend called and woke Junkersfeld from a nap, warning that flames were bearing down on their Cascade Cove neighborhood. “I went outside and looked up, and I couldn’t tell how far the fire was, because we have a big hill,” Junkersfeld said Sunday. “So we just grabbed anything and left.”
