CHICO, Calif. -
It was a frightening Saturday afternoon for Walter Leonard as flames quickly tore through an area very close to his home.
“It was pretty scary,” Leonard explained.
Leonard has lived in Chico almost his whole life but has only lived in this home on Munjar Road with his family since last summer. He hopes to never have to experience a fire again.
