‘Ashes, twisted metal’: California residents reel amid wildfires

San Francisco, California – Travis Mitchell has lived in Greenville, California, since he was five.

The 34-year-old returned to his home a week ago to find it still standing, although it smelled like smoke, the food in his fridge had rotted, and one of his goats had been eaten by wolves.

A month earlier, Mitchell had evacuated just before flames engulfed the small former mining community he has called home for most of his life.
