The Clover Fire was a fatal wildfire in Shasta County, California. It burned from September 9 to September 15, 2013 in an area near the communities of Happy Valley and Igo, California, about 10 miles southwest of Redding. It burned more than 8,000 acres (3,200 ha) and caused one death and six injuries.[2] Damage was estimated at $65 million. One man has been charged with arson in the case.[3]
The fire was named for its origin near Cloverdale Road.[4] It started around 12:30 PM on September 9[2] and spread quickly due to strong winds and dry conditions. The fire spread so fast that some residents were given just minutes to evacuate.[5] The fire was fully contained on September 15.[6] The cost of suppressing the Clover Fire came to more than $7.3 million.[7]
