WEED, Calif. — The massive fire destroyed about a hundred homes in Weed Monday, but one couple who lost their house found a small memento left behind by fire crews they will cherish.
There is nothing left at the Alvarado home on Hillside Drive. The house is ashes, the motorcycles charred, the swing set melted. Only the chimney was left standing. “A lifetime. We lived there 30 years and two weeks,” said Rosanna Alvarado.
She and her husband Phillip barely had time to grab a few of their most precious belongings before the flames sent them fleeing for safety. “Photo albums; mostly photo albums and money. We had and my original wedding ring set,” Rosanna explained.
