A garbage collector is credited with saving the life of a 93-year-old woman amid Northern California’s devastating Camp Fire that has been blamed for the deaths of dozens of people.
A mandatory evacuation order was issued for parts of Butte County, where the Camp Fire was spreading, more than a week ago. Dane Cummings, the garbage collector, went to check on elderly residents in Magalia, and he spotted nonagenarian Margaret Newsum on her front lawn.
