In Shasta County there were tense moments in Shingletown Tuesday evening, where a fuel tank fire destroyed several trailers.
It started in the 5700 block of Wilson Hill Road, just south of Shingletown, about 25 miles southeast of Redding. The location is just east of the Wild Horse Sanctuary in Manton. Crews from Shingletown Volunteer Department, Millville Volunteer Fire Department and CAL FIRE worked to put out the flames.
Firefighters say it started as a diesel tank fire that spread to commercial trailers and other industrial items.
