A Cal Fire investigation found a mill operator at fault for last year's deadly wildfire in Weed, Calif.
and Lake Shastina, resulting in the deaths of two elderly women. Cal Fire officials said the fire burned 3,935 acres and destroyed 144 structures including many homes. At least three people were injured in the fire.
At the time, Hillan told The Times that two buildings on the mill’s campus had burned: the planer building — a large warehouse used to store spare parts — and Shed 17 — a smaller bunker where the ash was stored. In December, facing a string of lawsuits, Roseburg Forest Products agreed in principle with four law firms representing a majority of claims to settle the families’ property losses, personal injuries and wrongful death claims arising from the fire.
