September 24, 2012 (Boulevard) –A charred body has been found  at the burned residence of an 82-year-old disabled man, who did not leave despite reverse 911 calls made in the area advising residents of mandatory evacuation orders.   Neighbors told ECM news partner 10 News that deputies and firefighters were searching for Carson Robinson, who  was missing after the Shockey Fire roared through his neighborhood on Tierra del Sol Road in Boulevard.

“It’s extremely prudent upon homeowners to definitely heed the warning and exit the premises as quickly as you can,” Cal Fire Captain Richard Cordova told ECM, indicating that this tragedy may have been preventable.
