'We lost everything — it’s all gone,' Havilah resident Sean Rains told The Times on Sunday.
The 38,000-acre Borel fire in Kern County has leveled the tiny, historic mining town of Havilah. 'We lost everything — it's all gone,' Havilah resident Sean Rains told The Times on Sunday. 'This whole town burned down. Multiple people, friends that I know — everybody lost everything.' The fire ignited Wednesday in the Kern River canyon and spread rapidly as it met with strong winds, officials said.
Around the time of its founding, it was an active mining center home to saloons, dance halls, hotels, shops and other establishments, according to the Havilah Museum. The town served as the seat of Kern County from 1866 to 1872, when the government was moved to Bakersfield. But Havilah is also no stranger to fire, and many residents began to leave the town after several blazes tore through in the early 1870s, according to the museum.
