As A wall Of Flames Raced Toward Their Car, Couple Had To Decide: Stay Or Run?
REDDING, Calif. Jeff and Nancy Heintz were driving on Interstate 5 from Seattle to their home in Arizona when they saw a large cloud of smoke in the distance.
It was Wednesday afternoon, and a fast-moving wildfire was bearing down on the busy freeway.
Southbound traffic was still flowing smoothly. But 20 minutes later, it came to a standstill.
“It almost looked like an atomic cloud," Jeff Heintz said.
U.S. Forest Service officials said the blaze, dubbed the Delta Fire, broke out about 1 p.m. north of Lakehead, about 25 mil

The California Highway Patrol did not have an official count of the number of vehicles burned in the fire. But on Wednesday night, after the fire had moved through the area, two burned big rigs remained in the roadway. A few others also were abandoned on the freeway, which was closed to traffic.

A Forest Service spokeswoman said Wednesday night she hadn’t heard of any injuries connected with the fire.
