BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) -- Sunday marked a grim milestone in Kern County -- four months since the start of the Borel Fire that tore through the town of Havilah. The Borel Fire is Kern County's largest wildfire in history. Torched cars and caution tape litter the landscape that looks like a war zone after the fire consumed 60,000 acres and destroyed more than 230 structures. Only the foundations of most of the homes are left, but the historic school and the outhouse are still standing -- and so is the house of Elissa Beckham. She said a concrete wall saved her home, but her kids still can't play outside because it's too toxic. "We had to rebuild our well," said Beckham. "We had to put in a new power pole. So, it took us until Oct. 15 before we were actually able to be in our house." Stories from the Borel Fire Beckham lost her barn. Her windows were melted after her neighbor's house burned to the ground. She says the floor had to be replaced because of the stench of rotting meat. "Mostly, it was the smell from the refrigerator, because when you have a refrigerator that leaks meat for weeks on end, it just ruined it," said Beckham. Beckham says her home brought her to the land of gold, but she stayed because of the solidarity. "When I was pregnant, if I needed to get to the hospital and my husband wasn't home, I could rely on my neighbors," said Beckham. "It was always 'One Heart, One Havilah.' It's always been a close neighborhood." But now, the cleanup efforts have turned into tragedy after her neighbor offered to chop up her tree. Students rally for change during ‘Stop the Gun Violence Day’ "It was a tree that had burned during the Borel Fire," said Beckham. "So it had, you know, damage to it already, and he was chopping up the oak wood, and when he chopped the tree branch, the branch had come down and it ended up taking his life." The branch crushed the man's head killing him instantly. But, it gets even worse. "After he passed away, it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon that day, and by 10 o'clock that night, somebody came into his property and stole his RV that he had just got to live in, since his house burned down in the Borel Fire," said Beckham. "It's tragic that he had to lose trying to make himself a better life." Some have returned home, others are still waiting, and now one man's life is gone. His identity has not been released. If you have any information on the stolen RV in Havilah, you are encouraged to call the Kern County Sheriff's Office at 661-861-3110.
