BIG SPRINGS, Calif. — When the Lava Fire made a big push to the north on Monday, the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office issued a flurry of evacuation orders stretching from the outskirts of Weed nearly to the community of Big Springs north of Lake Shastina.
Evacuees from Lake Shastina and Carrick received the go-ahead to return home on Thursday night — good news for many people displaced by the fire earlier this week.
