60,000-acre Borel wildfire in California's Kern County is partially contained, with evacuation orders lifted for some residents. Brendan Ryan, 19, and his grandfather Ron were forced to evacuate their town of Bodfish and found shelter at Robbers Roost Ranch, a small restaurant and mini-mart, after co-owner Carlos Rivera opened the business as a shelter, providing cots, meals, and supplies. The community rallied around the effort, with local businesses donating supplies. Brendan and his grandfather have since returned home, feeling more stable as they monitor the fire's path.
